Who will actually receive this announcement?
How targeting works, and why you can only address parts of the school you're responsible for.
- 1
Before you publish, you choose an audience: the whole school, one division, one level, or one class. The composer shows you the recipient count for exactly that audience before anything goes out.
- 2
You can only address parts of the school within your own role's responsibility. A class teacher can address their own class; a Head of division can address their whole division. Trying to reach beyond that is blocked, not just hidden.

A parent only ever sees a post if one of its audience rows matches one of their own children's classes — this is enforced at the data level, not just in what the screen shows, so it can't be bypassed by the interface.

If you need to reach several specific classes rather than a whole division, you can pick multiple audience entries on the same announcement.
