Is there a work around so teachers can see receive notifications for News posts on courses they don't teach?

For our Early Childhood and Lower School faculty, it would be helpful for them to also receive the notifications (News Posts) that our co-curricular teachers send to families. I understand I can add them as a teacher or co-teacher on the course, but I am hoping to avoid that as it confuses parents and they reach out to the homeroom teacher about courses they don't actually teach.

Has anyone found a workaround? Is there any way to add them to the roster without being a teacher? Canvas has a feature for an ‘observer’ in the class. Maybe something similar to this?
