Attach files and photo moments to a lesson
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 6 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to attach files and photo moments to a lesson
- 1Open a lesson from the Planner (click its card in the week grid) and scroll below the lesson form to the file boxes.
- 2Under 'Attachments (families can open these)', choose a file — a PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint or image file, up to 10 MB. It uploads as soon as you choose it; there is no Save.
- 3Under 'Photo moments (families see these)', type an optional caption like 'Testing our bridges!' first — the caption goes up with the photo.
- 4Choose the photo (PNG, JPG or WEBP). It uploads at once and appears in the Photo moments strip with its caption under it. Keep student names out of the picture and the caption.
- 5Families see the files and photos only once the lesson is published — use Publish to families in the Planner's More menu.
- 6To take one down, click the trash button beside a file's name or on the photo. It goes at once, with no confirmation.
