School newsletters keep families informed of what is happening at the school. Newsletters promote a sense of community within the school, the student body and parents. Students love to see their name in a newsletter and are motivated to achieve goals and objectives that will warrant their inclusion in the newsletter. Teachers are also highly motivated when their name appears in a newsletter with a brief article about their achievements or a special recognition for efforts to accomplish a goal. Although creating a school newsletter may seem like a huge task, with the right information it can be easy to create. Here are some steps for creating a great school newsletter.


Create a Template


When you are putting together a newsletter, it is important to have a template that can be used consistently through the school year. Decide what type of format you will use. Will it be one, two, or three columns? Then design a masthead or logo for the newsletter. You can have a school contest for creating the logo or even the newsletter name. Use the same template for each issue of the newsletter.


Decide on Content


You can never run out of content ideas for a school newsletter because there is always news going on at a school. Your school newsletter can feature parents, students, and teachers. It can highlight school events past and present. It can contain a calendar of events. Your school newsletter can even provide parenting and education tips that will promote student success. Some newsletter editors encourage teachers to submit articles as well. You can create an idea box that the school community can insert great story ideas for future articles.


Use Lots of Pictures


Everyone loves to see their picture in the paper. As a school news editor it is important to have your camera available for any newsworthy events. Pictures will add interest to the newsletter as parents and students look to see if their pictures appear.


Put Your Newsletter on the Web


The layout of the newsletter should be a simple geometric design that can easily be transferred to the Internet. Most schools put their newsletter on the school's website so that if the hard copy is lost, students and parents can still access the newsletter.


A school newsletter can help to keep the line of communication open between the school and home. Newsletters are also great marketing tools for the school and help to welcome parents into becoming more involved in the school. You can make a newsletter a school project by creating a committee and then following the guidelines above.
