Preparing for School Year/Term Rollover

Preparing for School Year/Term Rollover

Overview

This article provides seven recommendations for starting the new term or school year right with ReachWell!  

Announcements

Before adding new announcements, we recommend archiving old announcements to help to clear up your school's news feed for contacts (i.e. families). This prevents confusion for families as they won't be seeing the previous year or term's announcements in their news feed. Please begin by viewing this video.

  1. Navigate to Dashboard > Messages > All Announcements.
  2. Select to archive all announcements by checking the box in the header column at the top, or check the boxes corresponding to individual messages to only delete those. 
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page. The Archive option is already selected.
  4. Select Submit. 
  5. ​Click HERE for details on adding new announcements!

Banners 

We recommend also removing old banners before adding new ones. To do this:
  1. Navigate to Dashboard > App Setup > Schools/Orgs.
  2. Select Update under the Banners column.
  3. Use the trash icon to the far right of any banners you would like to delete.
  4. Click HERE for details on uploading new banners!

Calendars

Be sure to update the Google or Outlook calendar(s) that are connected to ReachWell with upcoming events for the new school year or term! For instructions, visit:

  2. Select the Update option under the Contact Us column.
  3. Make any needed updates and then select Save.

Resources

Updating Admins 

We recommend removing any admins from ReachWell who will not be returning, and adding any new incoming staff. To do this:
