WhatsApp Group Rules for Schools (2026): Reduce Noise, Protect Teachers, Help Parents

WhatsApp groups are fast—but they can also be noisy, stressful, and unfair to teachers’ time. A few clear rules make a huge difference.

Suggested group rules

• One-way announcements for official info; Q&A in a separate channel.
• Office hours for non-urgent messages.
• No forwarding screenshots as facts; link to the official notice.
• Respect privacy: avoid sharing student info publicly.

Busut tip

Use Busut announcements for official updates and keep homework/timetable in structured modules so parents can find info later.
