Digital break for April Vacation

Posted Date: 04/10/26 (03:00 PM)


Happy Friday!

CPS Staff will be once again turning off notifications and turning on out of office responses to help them recharge their personal batteries for the final push toward the end of the 25-26 school year.

I created a tips and tricks that could help everyone take a breath next week using NoSoNovember resources, but simply muting notifications can go a long way:

Iphone: 

To reduce interruptions from busy email threads, you can mute notifications from messages in a conversation.

  1. Go to the Mail app  on your iPhone.

  2. Open an email in the conversation.

  3. Tap the Reply button, then tap Mute.

To specify what you want done with emails you muted, go to Settings  > Apps > Mail > Muted Thread Action, then select an option.

Android

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Gmail app .

  2. In the top left, tap Menu .

  3. Tap Settings.

  4. Select your account.

  5. Tap Email notifications  select None.

I want to encourage everyone to unplug and take a digital break next week while school is out, the weather looks great so far!
Be well,
