Parent Newsletter

For our newsletters we used Microsoft Publisher. Similarly to when we used Publisher for our internet safety brochures, I didn't have too much trouble. Publisher is extremely user friendly. I love the different theme colors they have already set up for you. They have so many options for you to design and color the document as you'd like. I was able to pick a cute style that looked like lined paper and worked very well for a school newsletter.

I used my newsletter to introduce myself to parents. I'm sure that when I'm teaching I'll

be using publisher to make monthly newsletters to send home to parents. They're a great way to keep parents up to date about what is going on in your classroom and in the school. Newsletters can include so many things such as, school and community dates, school activities, and contact information. Parent contact is an essential part of being a teacher, and a newsletter is a great way to establish this!
