newsletter

OldDude · May 25, 2016

I try to avoid newsletters at all cost because they usually just go from the backpack to the trash. When I'm forced to contribute I usually remind parents to check their kids for head lice, lice precautions, treatment, realities, etc. Fortunately, our secretary keeps the previous newsletters so she can just cut and paste the same info.

There is a template on word that I used for mine this year, you can search for and add pictures, etc.

Are you generating this yourself or contributing to the school newsletter?

If you are contributing then you can easily google 'school nurse newsletter ides.' I have one for every month and gear them to the season. every other month I remind parents of stay home rules (which I know go ignored).

i agree with OD, i will usually just send you a reminder letter - something short and sweet and on some sort of eye catching paper - if something is grinding my gears. If i send it out and it's white, it's because i find it to be an obligation, the brighter the paper, the more annoyed with an issue I am.

I may contribute to the school newsletter, but I also considered doing my newsletter a few times a year. The newsletter would include reminders and maybe a little health education.

We use emails, I keep mine to a minimum.

This year I'm going to send an email blast with links to forms, in the silly hope that medication forms and actions plans will be returned before school starts...I really crack myself up somedays!

I contribute twice a year but the secretary puts it together. I just e-mail my piece and she arranges it. There are lots of free templates online though.

In the beginning of the year I wrote about dropping off medications, clothing donations I needed and general rules for keeping kids home, etc. I sent another one out last month and it was about sun/summer safety and picking up meds at the end of the year or I was tossing them.
