Benefits

Why schools take their notice board digital

Visible by role

Every announcement reaches exactly the right group – the whole school, one staff room, a single class or just the parents of Year 5.

Push on every new post

New announcements arrive instantly as a push on the phone – no one has to walk past the board to stay informed.

Live display in the foyer

A screen at the entrance shows current announcements automatically and cycles through them on its own – cover lessons, dates, notices.

Always current, never papered over

Expired notices disappear by themselves; nothing gets papered over, overlooked or torn down. A searchable archive stays available.

How it works

How the digital notice board works

From draft to display in the foyer it takes four steps, and none of them needs a key to the glass case or a walk through the whole building.

1 2 3 4
  1. 1

    Write the post

    Write the text, attach a file or picture, set how long it stays valid. A notice can be an announcement of a date, a note about a cancelled bus or an invitation to the school fete.

  2. 2

    Choose the audience

    You decide who sees the post: the whole school, a year group, one class, the staff or a particular parent group. The roles for this are already set up in the app.

  3. 3

    Publish and notify

    As soon as you publish, the relevant roles receive a push notification on their phone. Important notices can also be pinned so they stay at the top, while all other posts move down in chronological order.

  4. 4

    Show it in the foyer

    Any screen with a browser shows the public notices in kiosk mode and cycles through them on its own. Expired posts disappear automatically and move into the searchable archive.

The notice board in everyday school life

Controlling visibility by role

On a cork board every notice hangs there for everyone – or for nobody, because it is overlooked in the crowd. Digitally that is reversed: every post gets an audience, and the audiences are the ones that already exist at the school. A note on exam preparation reaches only the upper years, a change of date only the class concerned, an internal arrangement only the staff. That is also a data protection question: a notice with names, photos or details about individual children does not belong in an open corridor that every visitor walks through. With role-based publishing, the circle of recipients stays limited and traceable.

A display without new hardware

For the display in the entrance area, any device that can start a browser is enough: an existing screen, an older computer, a television with a browser function. The notice board runs there in kiosk mode, shows only posts released to the public and moves on at a fixed rhythm. No login is required, and personal content does not appear there because it stays tied to roles. Guests, parents at pick-up time and pupils walking past therefore see the same current information as in the app, without anyone swapping paper every morning or maintaining a second pin board.

Staying current, staying archived

The biggest difference from paper is not the look but the handling of time. Every post gets an expiry date and then disappears from the view by itself; nothing is papered over, nothing hangs three months too long. At the same time everything stays searchable in the archive, so it can be traced later when a piece of information was published and which group it went to. That helps with questions from parents and with documentation towards whoever runs your school. How long school announcements should be kept comes from the education law your school sits under; the periods in the archive can be set accordingly.

Up and running in a few steps

Groups and roles are already set up in SchuleVernetzt – write a post, pick the audience, publish. For the foyer, any screen with a browser will do; no new hardware or training required.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the digital notice board

Yes. Every post can be published by role – for the whole school, individual classes, the staff or specific parent groups. That way everyone sees only what concerns them.

You open the notice board in kiosk mode on any screen with a browser. It cycles automatically through the current public notices – no login and no extra hardware.

Yes. With every new post, the relevant roles get a push notification in the app. Important notices can also be pinned so they stay at the top.

The school decides that through the roles. One option is for the head teacher and the office to publish for the whole school, class teachers for their class and departments for their courses. Posts can be reviewed before publication, so nothing goes out to the whole school community by accident.

They disappear from the view and from the display in the foyer on the date you set, but they remain in the archive. There they can be searched and, if needed, published again. Only what the school deletes itself is removed for good; the school sets the periods for that.

No, the two complement each other. The notice board is meant for announcements that concern a whole group and need no reply. As soon as a consent, a signature or a response is required, the route is the digital parent letter with a return channel that can be evaluated.
