Patrick's Day, what was coming soon, and some Easter Fun activities. This newsletter I created in 2008 using the Word Publisher Program.
You can use whatever method that works best for you. Some of my colleagues prefer to hand write their newsletters and just make copies. Now that I use a Mac, I use their "Pages" program to create newsletters. I've also saved my work as "Word" document and used pretty dollar store themed border for my newsletters. When I worked on my PC, I used the Publisher to create newsletters. Now that you know so much about this subject, you might think you’re ready to create your own school newsletter. Is there something bugging you? Add a "note from the teacher" place your pet-peeve there.ĭid you take a new Early Childhood Class? Share your thoughts and opinions.Īre you receiving a degree, credential, or grant you'd like to share?Īny of these would make great material for your newsletter.Īs you can see there are so many ways you can build an awesome newsletter in no time. There’s a lot to cover when it comes to school newsletter ideas. Use some of these questions to help you complete your newsletter.ĭo you have your monthly activities pre-planned?

Your newsletter can include almost anything you want to share with your parents. This makes it easy for you to find, and parents to keep. You can also bake in reminders like holiday or inclement weather closures and billing deadlines for clear communication and less late payments. The basics of your newsletter should always include your name, class, date, and the school or center name. But as a parent myself, I dont know of anybody who thought their kid in 11 weeks achieved what they would have in a years worth of actual real school. You can make parent’s lives a little easier by including links for making payments, social media and other relevant information in each newsletter. The number one complaint the teachers would have each month was they didn't know what to put in the newsletter! Is that your complaint? Do you sit staring at a blank screen? A half completed sheet of paper? I came up with a few basic ideas and even sample newsletters to get your creative mojo hummin'. Still, each month there would be audible moan and groans when it was time to collect the monthly newsletter. These were all topics to put in our class newsletter. The announcement of their baby sister, the fact that they knew all their alphabet, or their birthday celebration.
What a treat to see your son/daughter praised in the newsletter. The parents loved the idea of knowing what was coming up and reminiscing about what awesome theme we had already completed. When I taught preschool for my church it was mandatory to have a newsletter each month.
