The Family Page is the main hub where schola families get information about schola calendars, upcoming events, announcements, classroom pages, homework etc…
There are two sections which need regular updating:
|
|
1) Editing the Calendar section
To update the calendar section, which is just a list of upcoming events, simply edit the text that is already there by clicking on the words and then typing.
For quick formatting, you can simply:
1. Highlight and copy the text of an event already posted, and
2. Paste it where you want it to go and then change the words and date.
|
2) Editing the Latest News Section:
Adding new posts to the ‘Latest News’ section (upcoming events, fundraisers, notices, announcements etc) is slightly more complicated: -Each announcement sits on top of a ‘Content Color Box’ to define its space. The easiest way you can create a new one is by copying an existing one: STEP 1: Copy an old announcement Hover your cursor over the grey mat around the announcement (not the image itself) until you see the arrow on the top left of the box (a blue outline will show up around the entire gray box).
|
Hold the cursor over the grey box of an existing announcement and click on the arrow that appears in the upper left corner
|
STEP 2: Add your new information and photo
- Once you click on the arrow, choose ‘copy’ and then ‘(this page)’.
- This will copy the entire announcement and it will show up directly below without a space between them.
- Drag a ‘spacer’ over from the left hand BUILD menu and place it in between the two copies.
- Adjust the height of the spacer by holding down SHIFT while dragging it up to be smaller.
- Replace the image, header and text to match your new announcement
STEP 3: Update the Parent’s Corner Blog
In order to keep the archives of announcements up to date, copy the information you just added to the Family page into the Parent’s Corner Blog as a new post.
- Click on the ‘Pages’ tab while in Weebly Editor.
- Select ‘Parents Corner’ from the list of pages to edit.
- Create a new post (scroll up on this page and follow the instructions posted above (Editing Tutor Corner) for how to create and publish a new post.
TIPS FOR EDITING IN WEEBLY:
- Visually, it looks better if you can have images which are either Letter sized or square (like instagram posts).
- Two posts will fit side by side if the images are vertical or square.
- One wide post fits nicely under two square posts.
- You can rearrange the order of the posts by dragging them: always hover over the grey mat that the announcement is on until you see the ‘handle’ at the top center of the mat. This will allow you to move the entire box including its content.
- Pay close attention to the blue line that appears when moving an item. This is the cursor which shows you where the item will end up. You will get a feel for it after awhile.
- Spacers are often used in weebly to make items go to the size and position you want them to. For example, If you want an image to be in a specific location on the page, you need to put a spacer on either side of it and adjust their sizes until the image is where you want.
