 Hello. My name is Sierra Kast. Today we will be exploring the Family Announcements feature in CSAW. Here's how to get started with making a Family Announcement in CSAW. The first thing you will do is click the plus sign up here for add on that green circle. Then you'll select send announcement. Once you do that, up here if you click this arrow for the drop-down box, you can choose whether you want to send this announcement either to just your students or just family members or to both. Whenever I'm sending information out, I tend to try to get it to all students and family members to ensure that someone will read the information. Now, here is where you can type your information or you can also add attachments, links, photos, anything like that. So here I could choose to go ahead and just paste it in some information that I had previously typed and it's about our upcoming Valentine's Day celebration. So here I've got that typed in and I do have a cute little photo I wanted to send along with it so I would click add attachment and then here I would click that upload. Once I've got the file in here, I can click the green check mark and there's a little photo. If I wanted to decorate it up some more, you can. You could even write that message in here. I'm going to leave it just like that and click the green check mark again. So here's where I would proofread my message, make sure it says exactly what I want and I have the item photo attached. Then I would click this send now and you can see that I've now sent that Valentine's Day celebration information to all of my family members and students. One other thing you could do if you're sending an announcement, you can click that green circle again with the plus sign that says add, click send announcement and another option and feature that Seesaw now has with this is when choosing to send announcements you have that link feature as well. So if you have a classroom newsletter or anything like that, this is a great way to send it out to your families, especially during our distance learning times. So here I have selected that I wanted to make a new announcement. I've put all students and family members. I've clicked add attachment and then link. Right here is where I'm going to paste the link to my newsletter. Click the green check mark and here you can see that it has my classroom newsletter. I'll click the green check mark and then a little note to the parents and students. Please click to view our classroom newsletter. Then I can click send now. Once parents get this notice, they can then click on that and it will open up my newsletter in a new tab and then they can view the information. So again, those are some of the ways that you can use the family announcements feature in Seesaw to help with getting out messages, information, class newsletters and so much more. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to check out our other resources and have a wonderful day.
