showing posts from certain categories on pages

[Kevin]

I'm using the education theme and I want to create categories' posts that will show only in that category on that page. For example, All grade 2 announcements will post to the grade 2 page, All PTO announcements will post to the PTO page, all homework posts will post to the homework page.
Is this possible?

Thanks for any suggestions

Yes, you can create categories for each grade. Once you've created a category, you can edit it so that you can add an Archive Title and Description for each grade.

Let's say you make a category Grade 2. The category slug would be grade-2 (you can view this is you click the Quick Edit link below the Category name). Then the page with the category would be yoursite.com/category/grade-2. Every post that you give the category Grade 2 will be listed then.
You can add each Category to your menu, if you like or just make a list of links.

Additional Info:
There is another method that still seems to work, although I thought Brian Gardner had a post on it, but now it seems to be missing.
Here is another post that details how to do it. This is a very easy method too. You would just create a separate page for each grade.

(Use the Screen Options in the upper RH corner when you are on a Add New Page to make sure that Custom Fields is checked.)
