The best way to promote your brand is by empowering your staff to tell positive stories of student achievement. With so many stories to tell, you need brand ambassadors across the district—people who wear your colors, live your values, and get others excited about your schools.
Principals
Connect with your entire school community. Share upcoming events, key highlights, reminders, resources, and all the need-to-know information with the right audiences.
Communications Directors
Share the weight of telling your district's story without giving up control of your brand. Set the brand colors, logos, and audiences for every newsletter, all while empowering others to share the great stories happening in their classrooms or on the field.
Coaches
Give your fans more to cheer about with a recap of last week’s game, or let your biggest supporters know about upcoming road games. Share memorable highlights by email in minutes.
Teachers
Keep families connected to your classroom with branded newsletters that share upcoming events, updates, and those heartwarming moments, all in just a few clicks.
Family & Community Engagement Directors
Newsletters are an effective and easy way to reach community members who don't have students in your district. Use newsletters to share information about open houses, community-wide events, clinics, and more.
Direct Delivery: Unlike social media—where algorithms control visibility—newsletters go directly to the subscriber's inbox, ensuring your audiences receive your content.
Readability & Nuance: Newsletters allow for longer-form content and can delve into nuances that might not translate well to social media, such as explaining a district policy change or sharing stories of employees.
Personal Connection: School leaders like principals and superintendents can use newsletters to connect directly and authentically with their communities.
Established Audience: Because schools often already possess contact information for every family, they have a ready-made audience for newsletters.
Consolidation of Information: Newsletters can consolidate various updates, reducing the risk of information getting lost across multiple channels.
Resources to make your newsletters take flight.
