GROUPS, COMMITTEES & BOARD
A comprehensive suite of productivity and engagement tools make them strong!
Your group is busy! Keep everyone on the same page by adding important dates to your group calendar. For hosting group events, add details, integrate map, feature photos, announce the event in the Group Feed, and collect RSVP.
Quickly know who is who by visiting the Group directory page. Group Admins are clearly indicated so members know who to contact with any questions.
Engage your group members by sharing photos from meetings and recent activities. These images not only capture your group’s spirit but also serve as a wonderful introduction to your mission for new members.
Volunteering is a key component of parent groups. Boost participation with an easy-to-use signup system that allows you to list all tasks for any volunteer opportunity. For example, you can break down tasks for a gardening day or outline duties for cafeteria helpers, making it simple for everyone to get involved.
Collect information and survey your group. Request information on availability, ask for feedback or collect mandatory information. The audience-based settings display inside your group’s user interfaces.
School Signals is designed with a strong set of Group tools ready for parents group and school committee engagement. With the desktop and mobile optimized online tools integrated with automatic notifications, you will keep all group and committee members on the same page regarding upcoming meetings, sharing ideas, and keeping documents and photos easily accessible.
Not all groups and committees need to be set up in the same way. With access to flexible settings, you can choose whether your group is open to all users or requires a user to send a brief application to join.
Additionally, you can set groups and committees target audience within set grades. Teachers and staff can also run their private groups for the school’s internal needs.
This is an exciting time to be part of the School Signals Groups and Committees feature!
