The School Page allows office administrators to share and manage a range of school-specific information.
To access the School Page, click on the school name in the top left of your Home Screen.
The School Page shows:
- Key Contacts of the school
- A list of Staff members in the school
- An Important section for policies and procedures
- School Groups for teams, clubs, staff members, etc.
- School News articles
- School Calendar
- School Information including its address, phone numbers, and fax numbers
- Documents such as newsletters, handbooks, or a school form
Note: This content is only available to authenticated individuals of a school, so office administrators can share more than they might choose to do on a public website.
Staff and Key Contacts
On the School Page, Te Rito displays all staff members that are associated with the school. Te Rito obtains this information from the Student Management System, so office administrators do not have to worry about manually inputting this information.
Staff are listed in one of two panels – a general Staff panel and the Key Contacts panel. Initially, all staff in the school are displayed in the Staff panel.
Individuals with school administrative privileges in Te Rito (Principal or Office Head) can add staff to the Key Contacts panel. To do this, click the 'Staff' heading of the Staff panel to open a list of staff members. Then, hover over a staff member and click Add to Key Contacts.
To remove a staff member from the Key Contacts panel, hover over the staff member’s name and click Remove from Key Contacts.
To change the order of the people listed in the Key Contacts panel, click, hold, and drag a person’s name to the preferred location in the order.
Printing a Staff List
Te Rito enables office administrators to print staff lists. To do this, click the 'Staff' heading of the Staff panel.
You can change the layout to one of two list views by clicking the icons at the top right. Click Print to print your chosen layout.
Important Panel
Te Rito provides a panel on the School Page called Important. It is ideal for things like policies and procedures, volunteer information, committee information, or a code of conduct.
Groups
The school’s groups can be viewed on the School Page. These are the same groups visible when an individual clicks Find More in their My Groups panel.
School News
The middle of the School Page shows a feed view of the school News. Here, administrators can create a new article or edit, approve, or reject existing News articles.
School Calendar
The School Calendar is used to create school-wide events. Holidays and school breaks are added automatically when Te Rito is first set up. However, office administrators can add additional school-wide events easily through the Calendar on the School Page. These events will appear on everyone’s Home Screen Calendar in Te Rito.
Information Panel
The Information panel on the School Page displays the school’s contact information including the address, phone number, fax number, and website.
This is available to all individuals associated with the school.
Clicking Information enables Administrators to supply or update the school information, change the school icon, and add additional moderators.
Documents Panel
The Documents panel allows the storing of files that students, teachers, and parents may need to access from time to time. Think of uploading standard forms (PDFs), school newsletters, the student handbook, or other files that may be useful to the school community.
Office administrators can create folders inside the Documents panel. If there are many files, it may be useful to organise them into folders. To add a folder, click New and select Folder.
Name the folder and click Create Folder. Files can be added to the folder by dragging and dropping.
