4 Entering a Post (What to Fill Out)

  1. Set Reminder (Actions Required)
    Turn on if the post requires action or follow-up; you may set a Reminder Date.
  2. Posted By
    Your name (for accountability/clarity).
  3. Office & Department
    Select the Office, then choose the appropriate Department (list updates dynamically).
  4. Grade Level (multi-select)
    Choose one or more: Elementary Middle High All
    Using accurate grade levels helps principals/staff filter quickly.
  5. Audience (multi-select)
    Target who should see this (Administrators, Teachers, Counselors, Librarians, PLC Coaches, Testing Coordinators, Other School Staff, All).
  6. Title
    Clear, concise (avoid ALL CAPS). Example: Onyx for Middle School Math.
  7. Message
    Use the rich text editor for body content. Keep it short, scan-friendly, and include hyperlinks (see How to Add Links).
Searchability matters. Use all applicable tagging options (Grade Level & Audience) so principals can find your post faster.

5 Preview Before Submitting

Click Preview on the form to see how your post reads with your current selections (title, office/department, grade levels, audience, message, reminder status).

Note: Preview is a guide and may not perfectly match the final published styling on the public page, but it’s great for catching issues before you post.

6 Posting Tips (Quality & Formatting)

  • Keep it concise—aim for ~300 words or less.
  • Keep it clean—avoid unnecessary CAPS, underlines, colors.
  • Use hyperlinks instead of long URLs or “see attachment”.
  • Avoid pasting complex layouts (tables/charts) directly from Word/Google Docs; format it simply in the editor.
Make it scannable: short paragraphs, bullets, and clear calls-to-action help busy readers.
Time-bound posts: If your info expires, set a reminder to update or remove it after the date passes.

8 FAQ & Troubleshooting

Use the editor’s Remove Format button, then re-apply basic styling. Avoid pasting complex tables or charts; simplify into bullet points or upload a linked document instead.
