There are two types of Announcements:

From the homepage, click the Create New Announcement widget to open the New Class Group Announcement subpage. Alternatively, you can enter this subpage by

- opening the left menu and clicking Announcements, followed by Add New Announcement,
- entering a Class Group, under the Notifications tab, clicking Add Class Group Announcement.
On the New Class Group Announcements subpage, select the Class Group(s) you wish to send an announcement to, from the dropdown list. Should you create an Announcement from a Class Group, the Class Group would be specified for you.
You can choose to send the Announcement to All Students and Teachers within the Class Group or to Selected Recipients from the dropdown list.
If you choose to send the Announcement to selected recipients, click Add Recipient followed by selecting Student or Teacher.
In the Add Students/Teachers subpage, select the checkboxes on the left to include students/teachers into the Announcement. You can toggle across Class Groups (should you choose more than 1 Class Group) from the dropdown list.
Click Add to proceed.
The names of the selected students/teachers will be shown. To remove them from the list, click the X beside their names.
