Educators: Create a community post

In this guide, learn about:

You can learn more about your community space, community posts and urgent posts here.

To find your community space, click on your early learning service's Community tab.

In the text field, type your message and tap Post.

You can also create a community post from a room at your centre. Rooms have their own Community discussion space, which works in the same way as the early learning service's community space.

Note: An educator must be added as an educator to a room in order to create a community post from that room's community space.

Alternatively, you can use the + Create button in the blue menu bar at the top of the page to create a community post:

Note: If you're connected to multiple services and wish to select a specific service or room for your community post, please do this from the Community page within that service or room.

Messaging your community about an upcoming event or a reminder? Try including the date so family members can easily add the event to their personal calendars from the app. Find out more about the calendar feature for families.

You can add an image, video, or other file type to your community post. Read Add files to a community post to learn how.

Admin educators can also mark community posts as urgent, overriding a parent's notification settings.

Sending a community post with the urgent checkbox ticked will send an email to each person in the community in addition to the notification they receive within Storypark, even if they have community posts turned off in their notification settings.

As they override a parent's settings, we recommend using this feature only for very urgent or time-sensitive announcements.
