Hi, @cstankiewicz , and welcome to the Canvas Community! Notification preferences are set by the user, so if your students have their notification preference for announcements set to receive notifications, they will be alerted to that announcement. How do I set my Canvas notification preferences as a student? provides additional details.
Hope this helps, Christie.
