How to publish the week's plans to families

  1. 1Open the week in the Planner — use the arrows beside the date range to step to the week you want.
  2. 2Make sure each lesson is checked Ready to teach — only ready lessons publish. Open a draft lesson, check Ready to teach, and click Save.
  3. 3Open More in the page header and click "Publish to families".
  4. 4The dialog shows how many lessons go out, and how many families and students get one email and a notification.
  5. 5Click "Publish and notify N" — the email can't be recalled, and there is no unpublish.
  6. 6Look for the send icon on each lesson: green means published, amber means edited since publishing.
  7. 7Edited a lesson after publishing? Open More, click "Publish to families", then "Publish and notify N" again — families get a fresh email.
