The purpose of a newsletter is to provide specialized information to a targeted audience. A school newsletter can be a great way to develop a strong relationship with parents. First, choose a short title or theme for your newsletter — something like "School News," or
“Back to School.” If you’d like, you can also add a date and volume number for your newsletter. Next, establish how much time and money you can spend on your newsletter. These factors will help determine how frequently you publish the newsletter and its length.
