With announcements, teachers can send a message to all students in a section. Students will see a notification on the top navigation bar and on their student page when an announcement is posted. Students can see a list of all of their announcements by clicking My Announcements in their side navigation panel.

To send an Announcement from your Roster page:

  1. From your Teacher Page, click the section you would like to access. 

  2. Click the blue Announcements button 

  3. Write your announcement and click Publish to a Section
