What it is

One school channel for announcements, records and quick consultations

The School Wall is Edustra's school communication feature for publishing announcements, photos, videos, polls and events to selected classes or students. The team organizes the posts and tracks, student by student, who read each announcement.

Built for principals, coordinators and the school office, and for teachers within the classes each one can reach. It is part of the Edustra platform, together with the school-branded app and student area.

  • Organize announcements

    Sent, scheduled and draft posts sit in a single list, with filters by type, status and class.

  • Choose the recipients

    Each post goes to all students, to classes or to specific students, within the permissions of whoever publishes it.

  • Track reading

    For each announcement, the team sees who read it, who has not, and how many confirmed reading when it was requested.

One announcement, start to finish

Publish, receive and follow up: the same announcement on three screens

Follow the 12th grade parents meeting from the school's editor to the reading summary. The screens are reconstructions with illustrative data; nothing is sent from this page.

The school writes, picks the audience and the channel

In the editor, the coordinator writes the announcement, selects the class, decides whether to request read confirmation and chooses how to notify: push, email or both. It can be sent now, scheduled or saved as a draft.

  • The preview shows how the post looks on the wall, in the push notification and in the email.
  • Scheduling uses the school's time zone.
  • Push requires the school's app to be published in the stores and devices with notifications enabled.

Tracking and resend

After publishing, know who has not read it yet.

Check the records student by student, see the confirmations you requested and resend the announcement to those who have not read it.

Use the tabs to filter the sample list.

Reading and confirmation are different records

Read means the student opened the announcement. Confirm reading is an extra action, available on announcements where the school requested it. A confirmation also counts as read.

The percentage is about reading

The summary divides the students who read it by the total recipients. An announcement at 80% reading can have fewer explicit confirmations, like the 18 in this example.

Resend only to those who did not read

The Resend to unread button sends a reminder through the same channel only to students who have not opened the announcement. Students who read it without confirming are not included.

One record per student

A confirmation made through the email link is recorded on that student's tracking. The record does not identify which guardian clicked.

Four everyday situations

Announcement, photos, poll and event, each with its own controls

Each post type has the fields the situation needs. The examples use the same demo school.

Announcement

Official notices with reading tracked

Title, message, optional attachment and the option to request read confirmation. It is the only type with read confirmation.

Photo/Video

Activity records in the same place

Up to 10 photos or videos per post, with a caption. Students see the gallery on the wall and can like it.

Poll

A consultation with clear options

A question with single or multiple choice and, if the school wants, an automatic closing date. Students vote in their logged-in area and see the results after voting.

Event

Date, time and place in one record

The event goes into the platform's internal calendar and can let students confirm presence. There is no sync with Google Calendar or Outlook.

Who receives it, and where

Each person receives it through the path that exists for them

Wall posts reach people in three ways, each with a condition. Worth knowing before planning the school's announcement routine.

  • Students, in the student area

    Every post appears on the student's wall, in the school app or the browser. Access uses the student's login.

    Always included in every post.

  • Guardians, by email

    On announcements sent by email, guardian addresses registered on the student receive a copy, with the link to confirm reading when it was requested.

    When the school chooses email or both and the student has an email address and registered guardians. Events do not send this copy.

  • Push notification

    A phone notification takes the student straight to the post.

    When the school app is published in the stores and the device allows notifications.

Organizing the work

Tools that help the team prepare and find posts

Small controls that matter to whoever publishes every day.

  • Drafts

    Start a post, save it and finish later. Drafts stay in the same list, marked by status.

  • Scheduling

    Pick a future date and time in the school's time zone. Until it goes out, you can edit it, send it now or cancel the schedule.

  • Recipients

    All students, by class or specific students. Teachers publish to the classes they can reach.

  • Filters and search

    Find posts by title, type, status and class.

  • Preview

    See how the post looks on the wall, in the push notification and in the email before publishing.

  • School identity

    The student area and the app use the name, logo and colors the school configured.

School wall or messaging group

Where the wall helps and where a group still makes sense

This comparison is about institutional communication, where the school needs to know whether a notice was read. Everyday conversation still has its place.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the School Wall

Direct answers about recipients, reading, confirmation and channels.

What is the School Wall?

It is Edustra's school communication feature for publishing announcements, photos, videos, polls and events to selected classes or students. The team organizes posts in a single list and tracks, student by student, who read each announcement.

Who can publish on the wall?

School users with communication permission, such as principals, coordinators and the school office. Teachers publish to the classes they can reach and only resend reminders for posts they created.

How do I choose who receives a post?

On each post you choose all students, one or more classes or specific students. The list only shows the classes available to whoever is publishing.

What is the difference between reading and read confirmation?

Reading records that the student opened the announcement. Confirmation is an extra action the school can request on announcements: the student taps Confirm reading or uses the email link. The summary percentage is about reading, and confirmations appear as a separate count.

Do guardians receive the announcements?

When an announcement is sent by email, guardian addresses registered on the student receive a copy, as long as the student has an email address on file. Guardians do not have their own wall account. If they confirm through the email link, the confirmation is recorded for that student, without identifying which guardian clicked.

Do people need to install an app?

Not necessarily. Students open the wall in the school app or the browser, always with their own login. Push notifications require the app to be published in the stores and notifications enabled on the device.

Can I schedule a post?

Yes. Pick a future date and time in the school's time zone. Until it goes out, a scheduled post can be edited, sent right away or turned back into a draft.

How does the resend to unread work?

In the reading summary of a sent announcement, the Resend to unread button sends a reminder, through the same channel, only to students who have not opened it. Students who already read it do not get it again.

Do events go into a calendar?

Yes, the platform's internal calendar, which students and staff browse by week or month. An event can let students confirm presence. There is no sync with Google Calendar or Outlook.
