Managing News Stories
Summary text is best limited to 1-3 sentences, and featured images will look best if all ratios match (current ratio 2x3 landscape). This is an example story.
News Alerts
Urgent stories can be given an alert for parents or community members. This will generate a popup box when you log in, and you can opt to read the full story, dismiss the message once, or opt to not show again. You may set an expiration for the alert.
News without Images
Adding images to your news stories is optional. It may look best if adjacent stories match each other to keep your quadrant looking clean and even.
All Text and Images in Mock Ups are Placeholders
All text and images are placeholder and able to be replaced by the school.
