Daily Bulletin

The iSAMS daily bulletin is an important part of regular school communications.  To reduce the volume of all staff emails all notices and reminders should be submitted via iSAMS and will then be emailed out each morning at 7.30am in a nice digest format, like a good morning newspaper!

Anybody can submit an item for the bulletin or the School Calendar but all items have to then be approved by the Deputy Head of School Management or his assistant.

Please try to submit your entries as early as possible to avoid missing the 7.30am deadline.

Tips for best use of bulletins

• 5 days is enough!  - When submitting a general notice, invite or piece of information, limit the notice to one full week (mon-fri)  this is more than enough time to get your message across and will mean it will be on 5 separate emails still!
• Send follow up notices - When inviting people to sign up for an event it is better to send multiple staggered notices a couple of days apart to generate interest.
• Notice on the day it happens only - When putting in a notice for a trip/event or visitor, only submit it for the days that the event/visitor is taking place.
• Use the School Calendar - Get your events on the main school calendar as these will also show up on the bulletin.

How to Submit an Entry

After submitting your bulletin entry an Administrator will check your entry, make any amendments and then approve.  You will receive an email from iSAMS once your entry has been approved.
