Circulars and official communications

Schoolysoft circulars module
Circulars module — list, statuses and publishing.

Circulars let you broadcast an official school communication (a meeting, general information, a rule) to a defined audience. The module is found under the Administration menu and is restricted to school admin and headteacher accounts.

Creating a circular

  1. Menu Administration -> Circulars -> New circular.
  2. Fill in:
    • Title of the circular.
    • Content: plain text (no rich formatting, no attachments).
    • Target audience: All, Parents, Students, Staff, or Year group (in this case, enter the target year group as free text).
  3. Click Create circular.

The circular is saved with Draft status — it has not been broadcast yet.

Publishing a circular

Open the circular from the list to reach its detail page:

  • While it is in Draft, a Publish button is available.
  • Once Published, an Archive button lets you close it.

There is no scheduled sending to a future date/time: publishing is an immediate, manual action.

What this module does not do (today)

  • No precise class-level targeting or manual recipient selection — only the audiences listed above are available.
  • No attachments and no rich text editor.
  • No scheduled/deferred sending.
  • No read tracking or reminders from the interface.
