HTML Formatting for News Items

Basic HTML tags can be used to configure News items on the Teacher Access Center Home Page. The News items can include website hyperlinks and colors.

Home Access Center's news items do not support HTML formatting. If you enter HTML formatting, the text of the HTML code will be displayed to guardians and students.

The following example illustrates how HTML tags can be used to format text:
