Sent Memo Items

The DSST Commons is a place for HO staff to create school-facing memos, and for school leaders to access network communications in a succinct, targeted format. This is accomplished in part through the use of Functions, areas of responsibility that a staff member may have that are not strictly aligned to their job title. Functions are managed by the Home Office and School Leaders manage the assignees and followers of the functions. 

To view all sent memo items, starting in January 2023, navigate to the "Sent Memo Items" page, which can be found on the upper navigation bar. 

This page contains all memo items, sorted by Memo Date. 

There are two ways to search/filter for memos:

1) By typing in key words in the the open search box. For example, when searching for the word "Network" one memo item comes up:

2) By Function - This will show you all memo items that were sent to that function. For example, choosing the "Mental Health Team" function returns 2 memos, both of which were sent to the Mental Health Team.

To view a specific memo item, click the appropriate "View" button to the right. This will open a new browser tab with the memo item. In addition to the memo description, it will show you the memo item type, due date, memo date, Home Office contact, functions the memo was sent to, as well as which schools.
