The Events module serves as the primary communication hub for your school. Whether it’s scheduling a Parents’ Day or sending an urgent notice about school closure, Elimu Bora ensures the message reaches the right audience.

School Events

Schedule recurring or one-off activities and manage attendance.

Urgent Notices

Send immediate updates to staff, students, or guardians.

Audience Targeting

Filter recipients by grade, stream, role, or department.

Automated Reminders

Configure notifications to go out before an event starts.

​
School Events

Events are activities with a specific date and time, such as Sports Days, Half-Term breaks, or Exam periods.
1

Create the Event

Go to Events and click New Event. Provide a clear title, location, and description.
2

Set Schedule

Select the start and end dates. For multi-day events like “End of Year Exams,” the system will mark the entire period on the school calendar.
3

Select Audience

Choose who needs to know about this event. You can target the Whole School, specific Grade Levels, or individual Roles (e.g., only Teachers).
4

Configure Reminders

Enable automated reminders to go out via SMS, Email, or App Notification (e.g., 24 hours before the event).
Events marked as Holidays or Non-Academic Days will automatically suppress attendance registers for those dates.

Urgent Notices

Notices are for immediate communication that doesn’t necessarily require a calendar slot (e.g., “Reminder: School fees are due tomorrow”).
1

Compose Notice

Navigate to Notices and click Send Notice.
2

Target Your Audience

Just like events, you can filter your audience to ensure the message only goes to relevant people (e.g., only Grade 4 Guardians).
3

Choose Delivery Channels

Depending on your school’s plan, you can send the notice via:
  • In-App Notification: Appears on the mobile app and dashboard.
  • SMS: For urgent reach without internet access.
  • Email: For detailed announcements or attachments.
4

Send and Track

Click Send. You can view the delivery status and history in the Sent Notices log.

Audience Targeting

One of the most powerful features of the Events module is the ability to segment your school community.
  • By Grade/Stream: Perfect for class-specific trips or parents’ days.
  • By Role: Internal staff meetings or administrative updates.
  • By Department: Department-specific notices for teachers.
  • Individual Selection: For specific student or staff disciplinary or merit notices.

​
FAQs & Troubleshooting

Yes. When you cancel an event, the system will ask if you’d like to send a cancellation notice to the assigned audience automatically.
When composing a notice via Email, you can upload PDF attachments (e.g., a newsletter or a fee structure document).
Check the Notification Log for any delivery failures. Common causes include incorrect phone numbers or insufficient SMS credits on the school account.
