Announcements, Events & Holidays: A Practical SkoolPro Guide

SkoolPro Team·28 September 2026·2 min read

A notice, an event and a holiday are related but different pieces of school information. SkoolPro gives schools tools to publish announcements and calendar details for the intended audience, helping families plan from a shared record.

Before you begin

Confirm the date range, audience and practical details before publishing. An event may need a location and description, while a holiday must reflect the school’s actual calendar.

How the workflow works

1. Choose the update

Decide whether the information belongs in an announcement, event or holiday entry.

2. Add the details

Enter the title, dates and useful description, including location when relevant.

3. Select the audience

Choose the whole school or the relevant classes and staff before sharing.

4. Publish & maintain

Publish the update and keep the calendar or announcement record current when plans change.

A practical school example

The office creates a sports-day event for the relevant classes and adds the location and date. Parents can return to the calendar details later instead of relying on an earlier chat message.

What to check before relying on the result

Check audience selection before publishing. Correct dates and cancellation details promptly; a notification alone should not be the only place an important change is explained.

Try the workflow with your school team

Use the animated example on this page to walk through announcements, events & holidays with the staff or family members who will use it. The illustration uses sample data; it does not log into a school or change any records. When reviewing the real workflow, check the intended school, person and date before saving or sharing information.

Feature access follows your school plan and assigned role. Contact our support team about your plan, browse the school feature catalog, or book a guided demo to review the workflow with the SkoolPro team.
