Overview
You may need to publish urgent Alerts related only to your school in case of emergency situations (e.g., the school is closed for certain reasons).
Prerequisites
You need to have Senior District Webmaster rights to add an additional News module to the home page.
Note: If you are a Principal/Assistant Principal or School Admin without the necessary rights and you need to post an urgent alert for your school, please submit a ticket to our Support team and we will do it for your school site.

- From the Toolbox, select Site Center.
- Click Edit.
- Create an additional News module under the District Alerts Module.
- Right-click on the module and select Format.
- Select the Alert option.
- Publish the changes.
Testing
Open the school site to check that the Emergency Alert is displayed. Users can click on the link to view the entire announcement.
