the purpose .It should contain all the necessary
details such as;
1. Name of the issuing agency (school).
2. Title, and date of issue (release of the notice).
3. Event (what?).
4. Date / time duration (when?).
5. Place /venue (where?).
6. Authorized signatory: name and signature

ii. Inside the box, write the word“NOTICE”, in capitals on the top most
line centered.
iii. Leave a line after this.
iv. Write a caption/heading on the next line –short and catchy.
v. Now fill in the date of issue.
vi. Start the first paragraph slightly intended (a little bit away from the
margin) and expand it on the heading given above..
vii. The second paragraph (optional) has to include important details of
content, answering questions like what /where /when /for
whom/how/the last date by which the response has to be sent, etc.
