Spotlight Messages are dedicated content blocks that highlight important information on your school website. Once a spotlight is on your site, you can edit and update it yourself anytime.
Common uses for spotlight messages:
Mission and Vision — your school's core statement, often on the About page
Principal's Message — welcome message or recurring update from school leadership
Teacher or Student Spotlight — recognize achievements or features rotating staff/students
Graduation Spotlight — celebrate graduating classes, seasonal events, or commencement details
Welcome Messages — back-to-school greetings, special event announcements
Non-Discrimination Statements — required policy text in a visible, prominent format
About Us Sections — short school history or community description on landing pages
What can you do yourself
Once spotlight messages are on your site, you have full self-serve control to:
Edit Spotlight Messages — update text, photos, additional files, and "Read More" links
Adding a new spotlight message
Placing a new spotlight on a specific page or location currently requires a support ticket. To request a new spotlight, open a ticket via Eddy, Edlio's AI support assistant — see how to submit a ticket via Eddy for the full walkthrough.
Include the following in your request:
The URL for the page where you want the spotlight to appear
The location on the page (top, sidebar, below specific content, etc.)
The title and initial message text
Any photos or files to include (optional — you can also add these yourself after the spotlight is created)
💡 Best practice: Spotlight Messages work best for content that should stand out from the regular page flow. If you have content that fits naturally inline with your other page content, a standard page block may be a better fit than a spotlight.
