Keeping families informed

PinkTower keeps everything the school says to families in one place, so nobody has to hunt through texts and emails.

Messages in the sidebar holds four tabs. Which ones you see depends on your role:

Tab	What it is	Who sees the tab
Broadcasts	One message from the school office to all parents, all staff or everyone	Administrators and parents
Announcements	Notices for one class or the whole school	Administrators, teachers, nurses and parents
Messages	Private one-to-one conversations between staff and parents	Administrators, teachers, nurses and parents
Stories	Short progress updates about one child	Administrators, teachers and parents

Beside Messages there are three more ways to stay in touch:

• Gallery: photos from the school day, shared with the families they concern.
• Calendar: school events, volunteering and the days the school is closed.
• Notifications: the bell at the top of the screen, and your choice of what it tells you about.

Bus drivers and conductors do not use these pages.
