Thanks for all the ways you incorporate newsletters for your parents. We have schoolfusion and that should update a lot of our parents, but they either don't sign up for the emails or don't take a look at the website. We have talked about being able to send emails to parents though.<br />
<br />

<br />

Just as important (or more so) than the delivery mechanism are the content and its timeliness. E.g., getting a newsletter announcing an event that happened yesterday is always problem. Don't let the sharing method be the tail that wags the dog. Using Twitter is a great idea but is its 140 character a problem for your needs? Plus, consider how many parents have social media accounts - i.e., how many have accounts in Twitter, Facebook, etc.? Decide if you want an "opt-in" approach like a Web site…

Decide if you want an "opt-in" approach like a Web site where parents go to or a "push-out" approach like Twitter that is sent to those signing up for the service. Multiple communication vehicles is nice but do you have the person-power to do the extra work for doing multiple communication paths?

Our school sends out a newslettter email for parents, posts it on the school website, and sends snail mail to parents without computers.

Twitter, Facebook, or Edmodo may be a start for posting online info. Otherwise, you could collect parent email addresses, create a group mailing list, and email the newsletter. Why not create a free website with Weebly that is dedicated to disseminating news? It could be done on a class by class basis, or whole school
