Tips
- Use class channels to coordinate exam schedules and avoid clashes across subjects.
- Pin important messages in channels so they're easily found — right-click a message and select 'Pin'.
Community Channels
The Community section provides structured group messaging channels for: • Staff Lounge: School-wide teacher and staff channel for general updates, resource sharing, and professional discussions. • Class Channels: Dedicated channels for each class (e.g., Class 10-A Teachers), allowing coordinated planning between subject teachers of the same class. • Department Channels: Subject department groups (Science Dept., Humanities Dept., etc.) for curriculum coordination.
Direct Messaging
Send direct messages to any staff member or student from the Community section. Click 'New Message', search by name, and start a conversation. Direct messages are private and not visible to other users.
Posting in a Channel
Click on a channel, type your message in the input field, and press Enter or click Send. You can format messages with bold, italics, lists, and code blocks using markdown shortcuts. Attach files by clicking the paperclip icon.
