What educators are saying
Description
Routinely changing the appearance of newsletters keeps families engaged and keeps them reading about our classrooms. It is so frustrating to spend the time creating a newsletter only to have families not read it! In this resource, you’ll find 40+ newspaper templates to keep your classroom news fresh and interesting!
These templates are available in both Google Slides and Microsoft Powerpoint formats, giving you flexibility and choice in how you share with families - a class website, printed, texted via Remind or Dojo. Empower your families to ask questions, be involved in the classroom, and help support learning at home.

❤️USING THIS RESOURCE
☑️ Classroom newsletter
☑️ Club updates
☑️ Student-written newsletter
☑️ School updates
☑️ Internal School Memo
Since the newsletters are in full-color and I love trees, I distribute my newsletter via email. I ‘Save As’ each newsletter as a PDF (click on ‘File Type’) to keep the newspaper elements from shifting. Additionally, I send out the PDF or JPEG file on Remind. All newsletters can easily be printed on a black/white school copier (I do this to post outside our classroom, as well as, for families without an email address).
