Write a circular

1. Click Add circular.
2. Type the Title (required, up to 160 characters).
3. Write the Body (optional). You can format the text.
4. Optionally add a Letterhead header image. If you leave it blank, the school logo and name are used.
5. Optionally add a Letterhead footer image and a Circular image (an illustration shown in the body).
6. Tick Requires acknowledgement if people must confirm they have read it.
7. Tick Save as template if this is a reusable draft rather than a notice to send.
