Through the efforts of our design team, our company will provide professional and beautiful newsletters for your school. At your request, we will assist you in creating an EFFECTIVE newsletter. The content is of utmost importance in making improvements at your school and getting the results you desire.
The most important question is:
What do you hope to accomplish with each newsletter?
We suggest the principal and the school's newsletter correspondent work together on making an outline for each scheduled publication. What are the most important issues to be addressed at the beginning of the year, before Christmas break, at the beginning of the 2nd Semester, as we prepare for testing and graduation? Think about the following ways to successfully utilize the entire parent community to benefit your school:
• How can parents help at the school by volunteering? Let them know exactly what you need. Let them know how it will benefit them, the students, and the school. In some cases, parents can assist you electronically from home. If they are needed on campus, let them know specifics and contact information.
• What fundraisers do we have coming up? How much more successful would your fundraisers be if every single parent knew about them well in advance of the functions? Perhaps you need volunteers or business sponsorships. Let all the parents know of your school's 'wish list'. Do you need art supplies, laptops, monitors, or other items? If all of your parents know, they will amaze you.
• Does someone deserve recognition? Your newsletter provides an ideal public forum for thanking all the people who make a difference.
Sending your items:
On your scheduled due date, email all of your articles (Word Document format) and photos (jpeg or tif format, 150-300dpi) to info@academypublishing.com. Be sure to proof all text prior to sending and include a title for each article. Notate which articles the photos correspond with and include any captions if desired. It is very important to keep on schedule in order to get everything printed and mailed out by the contracted date. If there are ever any special circumstances that would effect your due date, please call and let us know as soon as possible.
Review and Approval:
2-3 days after your articles arrive, our design team will email you a proof of the newsletter in PDF format. If you cannot view PDF files, please click on Adobe Acrobat Reader for a free download. Call or email the designer with any minor corrections. If you choose to email, please be specific as to what page, article, paragraph, line#, etc., and the correction needed. An updated proof will be sent to you for review. We hope to have final approval no later than five days after your scheduled due date. Upon approval, the newsletter will be printed and shipped as scheduled.
