SchoolStatus Connect has school-wide features that allow School Leaders to manage the classrooms and send relevant information to everyone. One of the school-wide features that School Leaders can take advantage of is the option to send a school-wide Event. This will allow the School Leader to inform parents and staff members about important activities and holidays that are happening in your school.

NOTE: This feature can only be used by SchoolStatus Connect School Leaders. Teachers do not have the option to create a school-wide Event.

Please keep in mind that on the basic SchoolStatus Connect plan you can connect an unlimited number of classrooms, but send announcements and events by visiting only up to 7 those classrooms from your school page. As SchoolStatus Connect's basic plan is created specifically for teachers, SchoolStatus Connect Leaders will also need to be teachers in these classrooms and then can visit them and set up multi-classroom announcements and events.

To fully unlock the power of SchoolStatus Connect schoolwide, please inquire about upgrading to SchoolStatus Connect Plan by filling out this short form here.

You can refer to a quick demo video below or a comparison flyer between SchoolStatus Connect Plan and the basic plans.

When visiting any of the connected classrooms where you are also a teacher you will be able to set up a multi-classroom event using the steps below just from the classroom level.

Please watch this quick video demonstrating how to create a school-wide Event.
