A school or college group description should tell a student or parent who may post, when, and where the real information lives. WhatsApp allows 2,048 characters, but each example below is under 500, plain text and ready to paste. Replace the words in square brackets. Turn off Edit group settings so only admins can change the text, as the description often carries the rules.
