How to use the Daily Bulletin

The Daily Bulletin function can be use to give information to staff, parents,teachers, etc who have access to our PowerSchool system. To get to the daily bulletin, first click on "Special Functions."



Once on this page, click on the link that says "Daily Bulletin Setup."




From here there are 4 things to do - First, name the Bulletin - it could be as simple as "News for the Week of August 4" but if you don't put in a name it will not save. Second, put in a date. The date is automatically the date of the moment, however, you may want to run the news for more than one day, so choose and change the ending date.

Third, choose your audience. If you want everyone including parents to see it then choose "Public." If you only want administrators and teachers to see it choose "Teachers." For office staff only and me, choose "Administrators."

Finally, start typing. For longer and public information I advise to compose in a Word program with spell check and then cut and paste into this box. Click "Submit" and you will then be able to see your Daily Bulletin from the front page by clicking on Daily Bulletin on the left side of the page.
