One fast test for your school newsletter: Can a family find tomorrow's field trip info in five seconds? If not, move it up. Add a heading. Cut the paragraph around it. #SchoolCommunication #NewsletterTip

October is when “we've settled into a routine” and “every day has a theme” become true at the same time. Pajama day tomorrow. Unless it was today. Check the newsletter. 😅 #TeacherLife #K12Life

National Dessert Day feels like a fairly important day for a company named Smore. Our official position: Toast the marshmallow. Melt the chocolate. Do not check school email near the fire. 🔥🍫 #NationalDessertDay #Smore

Athletics newsletter tip: Late-season schedules change fast Put the next game or meet at the top of the newsletter with the opponent, time, location, departure time, and ticket information so families have to reconstruct game day #SchoolAthletics #SchoolCommunication #CoachLife

Newsletter tip: If you have six reminders, don't give all six equal billing. Put the one with a deadline at the top. Bold the date. Let everything else wait its turn. #SchoolCommunication #NewsletterTip

IEP meetings come with enough specialized language. The follow-up communication shouldn't add more. Share clear resources with newcomer families in a format they can translate and revisit: na2.hubs.ly/H07_Qhv0 #SpecialEducation

World Teachers' Day landed on a Monday this year, which feels a little rude. 😅 We hope somebody brings you good coffee and gives you five uninterrupted minutes. Happy World Teachers' Day. #WorldTeachersDay #TeacherLife

✨ Newsetter tip! Translation tools work best on short, plain sentences. A newsletter written that way translates more accurately for families reading in another language than one dressed up with idioms or long paragraphs or screen shots. #SchoolCommunication #FamilyEngagement

Book report season sneaks up every fall, right around the time "I read the back cover" starts showing up as a legitimate excuse. Give students a fun way to share the book they're (really?) reading. na2.hubs.ly/H07zKgw0 #SchoolNewsletter #SmoreTemplates #ClassroomResources

🍂 First day of fall. Smorinio already has the flannel out and a bag of marshmallows ready. Somewhere a paper newsletter is getting rained on in an unzipped backpack. #FirstDayOfFall #Smorinio #K12Education

😙 Athletics Newsletter Tip! Game day reminders get skimmed. Add one yes/no poll block asking if families are coming, and the newsletter gets tapped instead of scrolled past. #SchoolCommunication #CoachLife #K12Education
