An easy way to inform people involved with your school about the events that are going on, is through the use of a school newsletter. Hopefully I can provide you with
some school newsletter ideas that will you can use to help spread news about events going on.
School newsletters usually have one of three different audiences. The first audience, the students, is usually the largest and hardest to get to read a newsletter. I would suggest trying to reach the kids through social networking or email. They will be much more inclined to read a newsletter that reaches them via something electronic rather than a hard copy. Depending on the age of the students you are trying to inform, using the internet may not be an option. In this case supplying teachers with hard copies to hand out is a great idea.
Generally the second largest audience will likely be the student parents. The best way to inform this crowd of goings on at the school would likely be through email. Most schools have a contact information (including email) of all the students parents. Other options include giving the newsletter to the student to give to the parent, but of course the chances of the newsletter actually making it to the parents are slim. The last audience is faculty. Because these people are likely your peers/colleagues, it is best to distribute the school newsletter via meetings or email. Also always keep in mind the audience you are writing for. For the students, bright colors and a lot of graphics are fine, and will probably help with the amount of people who read it. When writing to the parents it is very important to keep the newsletter very professional. This also goes for falculty newsletters.
As for content ideas, most newsletters serve to inform their audience about events and local news. All schools should have upcoming events that you can discuss times and dates for. Scheduled sports matches are great for content and will help increase attendance. Upcomming vacation days, school holidays, and national holidays also make for great content. You can also announce school events like proms. The weekly lunch menu is also a great blurb to have in your newsletter. Because you are authoring the school newsletter, take some creative liberty and craft a teacher of the week award, a student of the month award, or even a football player of the game award. Hopefully with a little creativity you can even come up with some more exciting ideas for your newsletters.
