Overview
A school page that never falls a year behind.
The page shows the notices the office marks for it and this term's dates, because both come from Slooch. When the office changes a date, the page changes with it.

Questions
Questions schools ask
Is this a full website?
Today it is the school's page: the notices the office marks for it, the term dates and the office's contact details. A full website, built for the school by Slooch services, is planned.
Can it use our own domain?
Yes. The page sits at the school's slooch.app address or on the school's own domain.
Who decides what goes on the page?
The office. A notice appears on the page only when the office ticks Show on the school's page.
Can a private notice appear on it?
No. Only the notices the office marks for the page appear there. A notice to a class or one family never does.
Can families enquire from the page?
Not yet. An enquiry form that sends each enquiry to Admissions is planned.
Can it post to our social pages?
Not yet. Sending news to the school's social pages from the same notice is planned.
We already have a website. Do we need Sites?
Every school on Slooch has its page, and it can sit beside the website you have. The school can link to it from its own site for notices and term dates.
Which package includes Sites?
The school's page comes with every package. A full website on the school's own domain, with the build, is an add-on that is included at Whole School.

Every part reads and writes the same families, learners and staff, so adding one is a setting.
