News & Alerts is Edlio's content management tool that allows schools to quickly share news and announcements directly on their website. This powerful feature helps you keep students, parents, and staff informed about everything from upcoming events and student achievements to urgent communications.

Who Has Access

Website Administrators automatically receive full access to all News & Alerts features and can manage content across all categories.

Teachers and Staff Members must be granted access by a website administrator. Administrators can assign access to specific news categories based on each person's role and responsibilities.
