Create and Manage School Notices

Overview

The Notices page allows administrators to publish announcements that are visible to selected user roles within openSIS. Notices can be scheduled to appear during a specific date range, prioritized using a sort order, and targeted to one or more user profiles.

Administrators can organize notices into Current, Upcoming, and Past categories, making it easier to manage announcements throughout the academic year.
