Just wondering what other schools are doing re WhatsApp groups. I am on several work related group chats for my various roles in school (I am head of a department and a class teacher). Currently my first WhatsApp's start coming in around 6.30/7am and I am generally being sent messages - all work related- until 10 or 11 pm most evenings and at various times over the weekends. I know WhatsApp is a great way to communicate and it's difficult to get sharing all the information you need to during the school day especially if colleagues work part time but I'm starting to feel this is taking over my life. It is creating bad feeling with my husband as he feels I am always working and distracted in evenings especially before DC go to bed.
I don't feel I can leave the group as it would be highly frowned upon as all staff do it. Has anyone any tips?
