2. When should I use a voice message instead of a standard post?

Voice messages are best used when an update needs extra visibility, and families may not see a post, email, or app notification in time.

Common examples include:

  • Dismissal or pickup updates
  • Same-day schedule changes
  • Field trip timing or logistics
  • School-wide or district-wide operational notices
  • Critical alerts

Standard posts work well for everyday communication. Voice messages help ensure awareness when timing matters.
