Announcements
The Announcements feature on mySecondTeacher is a powerful tool that allows teachers to push announcements to specific students or classes, or to the entire school community. These announcements will pop up on the student’s dashboard every time they log in unless the teacher stops the announcements.
In addition, school leaders can use this feature to send important notices, announcements, eConsent forms, or actionable polls to students, teachers, and even parents. All responses can be received on the same platform, making it easy for school leaders to stay connected with their community.
Parents can also receive announcements, eConsent forms, and actionable polls on the platform and provide prompt responses. This feature helps to ensure effective communication between parents and the school community.
