Resource Board Organization

Katie Newhall

I am looking at reorganizing our Resource Board Posts and wanted to ask others how they use their Resource Boards. Our current format has random posts and we have so many that they just get lost! They are also not used as much as we would like. Ideally, it would be great to have 3 main posts (1) Faculty/Staff (2) Parents (3) Students and then within these three posts, to then have all the information each group needs in one post but I also would love it if there was a way to create “sub-posts” but it doesn't look like this is an option. Any ideas on how to streamline and use Resources in a cleaner more effective way… I'm all ears! Thanks!

@Katie Newhall funny you should post this! I am going to take this opportunity to “plug” my speaking session at BBCON2025 to present “Design an Uncluttered Resource Board” in Philadelphia ?

@Kathy Hannon - Unfortunately, I will not be attending BBCON this year, but if you have anything to share after the session, I would really appreciate it! - Thanks!

There is a post here

that has a lot of good info. There is a slightly older one with the original conversation that was much more extensive, but I can't find it. If anyone can find it, please post the link!

Here's a screenshot of our parent view currently.

And here's our faculty view.

Thank you for sharing your resource board examples. I wonder if anyone else has examples they'd be willing to share, as we too are looking to refresh our boards. One thing that really helped me in looking at the examples above was realizing I could leave the Resource tile description blank (with a single space) to avoid having the uploaded images include the same words as are in the tile description.

In addition to all the great links above:

School Supply Lists
Summer Assignments (one tile instead of multiple)
“We Need You” (volunteer opportunities)
School calendar
Athletic schedules
“What’s for lunch?”
Senior Year Information
Training Videos
Videos of School Events
Finance (Business Office)
School Vision of Teaching & Learning
“Partnering with Parents”
Mental Health Help 988
Fine Arts Resources
Course Descriptions
Library Resources
Spirit Store
Business Directory
All School News & Archives
Athletic News

We would add:

Support Our School (Donation link)
College Counseling
Major Dates
Shuttle Bus
Health Forms
SIS Help Resources
Parental Advice for Online Safety
Attendance Policy

Thanks!
