Use a Community Update for centre or room news, reminders and celebrations. Write the message, check who should receive it, then share it with families. A Coach Sue chat is not required.
Create a Community Update
1. Start in Program. Under Create something new, select Observation, then Community Update.
2. Check the audience. Select the whole centre in the sentence at the top to choose the whole centre or a specific room/group.
3. Write and save. Enter your message under Document content. Include dates and anything families need to bring or do. To keep your own words, choose Write with no assistance, then Save. Other writing modes show Generate or Clean up.
Example in No assistance mode: check the audience, write your update, then save after adding content.
4. Share with families. Open Share, check recipients and preview the message. Saving alone does not confirm that families have received the update. Follow share a document with families for the current sharing steps and any delivery problems.
