Subscriber Notification Timing: Whenever you publish a new post or edit an existing one, your content updates on your public personal page immediately. Posts published prior to 5:30 PM local school time are compiled into the automated daily email digest sent to your page subscribers.
The Posts editor provides five specialized post types, allowing teachers and staff to share announcements, learning resources, project photos, documents, and videos quickly without complex formatting.
Creating a New Post
To publish a new post on your personal page:
Navigate to the Posts manager from your CMS dashboard or sidebar menu.
Under the Add New: toolbar, select the content type you wish to create:
Text: Formatted written announcements, homework instructions, and classroom reminders.
Link: Direct hyperlinks to educational websites, digital textbook portals, or external reference articles.
Photo: Image posts featuring classroom activities, visual schedules, student artwork, or campus highlights.
File: Downloadable attachments such as PDF syllabi, permission slips, review sheets, or reading logs.
Video: Embedded educational clips, recorded classroom lessons, or welcome video messages.
Enter a clear, descriptive headline in the Title field.
Add your message body, upload your asset, or insert your link using the post editor fields.
Click Save or Publish to make your post live immediately.
Editing Existing Posts
If you need to correct a date, update instructions, or replace an attached document:
In the Posts manager, locate the post entry you wish to modify in your post stream.
Click the Edit button (pencil icon) located at the bottom-right of the post card.
Make your adjustments in the editor.
Click Save to push your changes live immediately.
Deleting Posts
When temporary announcements, past event reminders, or outdated assignments are no longer needed, you can delete them from your feed:
Locate the post in your Posts manager.
Click the Delete button (trash can icon) in the post's action row.
Confirm the deletion prompt.
Important Note on Deletions: Deleting a post permanently removes it from your public personal page. If the post was already included in a prior day's 5:30 PM subscriber digest email, that email cannot be recalled, but the post link in the email will no longer be active.
Best Practices for Classroom Posts
Action-oriented headlines: Write concise titles (e.g., "Chapter 4 Science Quiz on Friday" or "Field Trip Permission Slips Due Oct 5") so subscribers instantly grasp the update in their daily digest email.
Accessible attachments: Ensure PDF documents uploaded via the File post type contain clear text and are accessible to screen readers.
Clean file naming: When uploading attachments, use clean names without special characters or timestamps (e.g.,
Weekly_Spelling_List.pdf).Timely afternoon publishing: To ensure announcements reach families on the same calendar day, publish your posts before your school's 5:30 PM digest processing window.
