Photo gallery

Who can do this: Administrator Teacher Parent

The Gallery holds photos from the school day. Teachers and administrators upload them, and parents see the photos that concern their children. Photos are published as soon as they are uploaded, and the parents who can see them are notified.

Nurses and bus crew do not have a gallery.

The Gallery, grouped by month, with its filters

Upload photos

Who can do this: Administrator Teacher

  1. Open Gallery in the sidebar.
  2. Press Upload image(s).

  3. In Who can see these photos?, choose the audience:

    Whole school (every parent can see them), or a class (the parents of that class).

    One of the classes you teach. Only administrators can share with the whole school.

  4. Press Select image(s)… and choose your photos. You can add up to 20 at a time, each up to 10 MB, as JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF. Press Add more images to add more.

  5. To narrow a photo to particular children, press Tag children next to it and choose the children in it (see Tagging children).
  6. If the photos are from a school event, choose it in Event (optional).
  7. Add a Caption (optional) describing the activity.
  8. Press Publish photo, or Publish N photos for several.

To take a photo out before publishing, press the cross next to it.

Tip

Choosing an event first fills in the audience for you: the event's class, or Whole school for a school-wide event. You can still change it.

Tagging children

Tagging is available when the audience is a class. Under each photo, PinkTower tells you who will see it:

  • An untagged photo is seen by all the class's parents.
  • A tagged photo is seen only by the tagged children's parents.

Tagging is chosen photo by photo, so a batch can mix class photos with tagged ones. You can only tag children in the class you chose. Photos shared with the whole school cannot be tagged.

Note

The event is a label only. It helps families find the photos, but it does not change who can see them.

Who sees which photos

You are You see
Parent Whole-school photos, photos for your children's classes, and photos your children are tagged in
Teacher Whole-school photos, photos for the classes you teach, and photos you uploaded
Administrator Every photo at the school

Find photos

Photos are grouped by month, newest first. To narrow them down, use the filters at the top:

  • Month: one month only.
  • Class: one class, or All classes.
  • Event: one school event, or All events.

Each photo shows its class or Whole school, its event, a Tagged label if children are tagged in it, the caption and who uploaded it. Press a photo to see it full size.
