School Wide Admin Features  School Wide Single Teacher PTO

Send School Wide Alerts To Parents & Students
The school alert feature is a great way to convey important school alerts such as school closings, delays, and emergencies. When an alert is posted, it is received by parents and students in a variety of ways (school pages on HomeworkNOW.com and school website, email, mobile devices text message, desktop alerts, interactive TV, and 3rd party social networking websites).

School Wide Take Home Notices
Helps schools get greener as it allows an admin to post and maintain paperless Take Home Notices from your school. No more excessive printing costs and paper waste.  Every time a take home notice is posted, such as "New Cell Phone Policy," parent/student subscribers receive an alert that a new notice is posted via email and mobile device, and the notice is posted on my.HomeworkNOW.com.  Notices can be uploaded as a file, or for more simple notices, the site can build and post a take home notice from scratch and store it in PDF format.
