Use SkoolBag to share resources while some students stay at home

Hi there,

SkoolBag is relied on by your community to receive updates and notices, so why not use it to send home homework and activity ideas? It’s really easy to set up class groups and enable your teachers and class parents to post to their groups.

‘It’s an easy way to quickly communicate with large groups of people’ Rachael Chisholm, Deputy Principal, Randwick Public School. See below screenshots of their posts to parents and guardians: 

Encourage parents to join groups themselves, or use our user management tools and add parents directly to groups. You can then share homework content to the group and notify your users via app notification and/or email.

Here’s how:

1. It’s quick and easy to create a class group
