Stories, plans, Message Board posts, Policies, and Resources can help families and teachers stay connected. Comments make these updates more interactive by giving families a way to respond, ask questions, and share feedback.
When a family member comments, linked teachers receive an Inbox notification and email. This helps teachers respond and keep the conversation going.
Who can see family comments?
Comment visibility depends on where the comment is added.
Where the comment is added | Who can see it |
Individual Story | The child’s family members and linked teachers |
Group Story | Only the commenting family member’s connected family and linked teachers. Other families included in the Group Story cannot see the comment |
Message Board post | All families and teachers who can see the post |
Individual Plan | The child’s family members and linked teachers |
Group Plan | All families connected to the plan and linked teachers |
Policies and Resources | All families and teachers at your centre |
Note: Teacher replies follow the same visibility rules as the family comment they reply to.
For example, a teacher reply on an Individual Story or Group Story remains visible only to the relevant family and linked teachers. A teacher reply on a Message Board comment is visible to everyone who can see the original Message Board post.
Message Board comment moderation
Message Board authors can choose to moderate comments before they appear.
When moderation is turned on, comments need to be approved before other users can see them.
