A staff room screen for the news teachers actually need
Teachers get dozens of emails a day, and the ones about duty changes or a PD deadline sink fast. A screen in the staff lounge or workroom puts this week’s staff news where people already stop for coffee and copies.

Why it matters
Staff news gets buried in the inbox
Principals send a weekly staff bulletin, then field questions all week about what was in it. Duty swaps, observation windows and the potluck sign-up compete with parent emails. A screen in the workroom gives the most important items a second chance.
Ideas for Staff Room Screens
Duty and coverage schedule
Post this week’s hall, lunch and bus duty assignments so staff can check them on the way to their post.
PD and meeting reminders
Show the date, room and what to bring for the next professional development day or staff meeting.
Deadlines from the office
Grades due, observation paperwork, supply orders. One deadline per slide, with the date first.
Staff shout-outs
Thank the custodian who saved the science fair or the teacher who covered three classes this week.
New hires and birthdays
Welcome new staff with a photo and their role, and note birthdays if your staff enjoys that.
Staff events and wellness
Promote the staff breakfast, a step challenge or the employee assistance flyer from HR.
How it works with Digital Signage
Staff Room Screens, step by step.
Three steps
Give the workroom its own timeline
Each screen plays its own content, so the staff room can carry staff-only news while hallway screens show student items.
Add the weekly bulletin
Link the principal’s Google Slides bulletin or upload it as a PDF, and set it to run for the week.
Let items expire
Give each duty roster or deadline an end date so Friday’s reminder is gone by Monday.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Staff Room Screens tips
Keep student data off it
Students and visitors may pass the room, so leave grades, health and discipline information off the screen.
Put it by the copier or mailboxes
Pick the spot where staff wait a minute, not the doorway they hurry through.
Make it partly fun
Mix shout-outs and photos in with deadlines so staff look at the screen instead of tuning it out.
Check the week’s order on Monday
A quick look at the staff room screen’s preview in the editor confirms the week’s items are lined up.

Questions
Staff Room Screens questions
The staff room screen gets a timeline of its own, separate from the hallway screens. Add the weekly bulletin, duty schedules and shout-outs, and set each one to start and end when you choose.
Treat it like a bulletin board that anyone in the room can see. Keep confidential student and personnel information off it, and use the screen for schedules, reminders and celebrations.
Yes. The editor runs in a browser, so the screen can be updated from any computer with access. The editor also shows whether each screen is online.
A staff room screen is quoted along with any other screens in your setup. It can be a simple second screen, since the content already exists in your weekly bulletin.
