+Changes to Classes Draft
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+==Changes to Scheduled Classes==
+Sometimes the unexpected happens, and you must change or cancel a class after it has been announced.  That's ok!  Real life comes first.
+Please use the following guidance for how to ensure your audience knows about the changes.  Generally speaking - please do not delete posts or calendar events - this leaves the audience unaware and searching for what they thought they saw before!
+===Changing Your Forum Announcement===
+* Please do not delete the forum announcement - students may have already put the class on their own personal calendar.
+* If you are cancelling the class with no replacement time (or intend to reschedule later but do not have the rescheduled time right now):
+** Change the post title to say "[CANCELLED]" at the start of the title.
+** Modify the body of the post to make it clear the class is cancelled (some bold text at the top of the post helps!)
+** REPLY to your class post indicating that the class was cancelled - this is the important step that pushes the forum post back to the top and flags new content for the audience to see!!
+*** Please do not simply edit your post - editing a post does not push it to the top and flag it as new content for people that have previously read the post.
+* If you are cancelling the date and time originally announced - but rescheduling now - please do not create a new forum post for the rescheduled date and time
+** Modify the title of the post to reflect the new date and time.
+** Modify the body of the post to reflect the new date and time.
+** REPLY to your class post indicating the reschedule - noting the old date and time - this is the important step that pushes the forum post back to the top and flags new content for the audience to see!!
+*** Please do not simply edit your post - editing a post does not push it to the top and flag it as new content for people that have previously read the post.
+===Changing Your Calendar Event===
+* Please do not delete the calendar event - students may have already put the class on their own personal calendar.
+* If you are cancelling the class with no replacement time (or intend to reschedule later but do not have the rescheduled time right now):
+** Edit the calendar event to replace the "[CLASS]" tag with "[CANCELLED]"
+* If you are cancelling the date and time originally announced - but rescheduling now:
+** Edit the ORIGINAL calendar event to replace the "[CLASS]" tag with "[RESCHEDULED]"
+** Create a new calendar event for the new class date and time, following the guidance in the Scheduling Your Class section above.
+===Pings: Cancelling On Short Notice===
+If your class is to be held in the next four hours, and you must cancel - first, don't feel terrible!  Real life happens and that's ok.  However, please:
+* Place a ping in the #ping-class Discord channel, to @everyone, noting that the class to be held has to be cancelled.
+* Feel free to reach out to @teachers in #teaching-general to ask if anyone wants to take over teaching that class session.
+** If someone does take the class over after the ping in the first bullet goes out - please be sure to ping again noting that the class is back on!
