3 minutes to create a School Newsletter!⏱

Stuart Dillon-Roberts —

It is possible to create a stunning school newsletter in less than 3 minutes using Hail. Let me explain, step by step, how this is possible.

We see it, hear it and watch it time and time again; school staff spending so much time creating school newsletters. But finally, there is an alternative and by using Hail you can create amazing publications in minutes.

So how? πŸ€”

(Well the first step is to sign up for Hail. πŸ˜€ Remember that the Hail team will do a free set-up β€” just drop me a line stuart@hail.to).

Step 1. Invite Contributors

In Hail, one of the key features is that you can invite all those who contribute to the newsletter to join your school Hail account.  You decide who you want to invite but it could be teachers, BOT members, students, PTA reps and of course the School Principal! 

Some schools have hundreds of members in their Hail account (oh, and best of all, YOU control who has access and YOU decide what and when school news is published).

Step. 2. Write the News

Each member in your Hail account creates a news story. It's simple because we use streamlined templates to make it really easy to add the details. Best of all you can add as many pictures and as you like, as well as interactive features like videos and maps. And all beautifully formatted with the most painless system around!

Step 3:  Time to Create a School Newsletter

  •  You create a new publication. There are 4 to choose from but the most common format used by schools is our gorgeous Newsletter format.
  • Select the articles that have been created. It's dead easy to browse everyone's latest articles and add the relevant ones.
  • Add a title, a welcome message and order the articles however you like. You might want to make the Principal's the first article πŸ˜‰
  • Then you click Publish.
In Hail there is no design expertise needed β€” no need to worry about the size of the images being used, the layout or format β€” we do all this for you!  You can ditch Publisher, InDesign, Word and Google Pages because Hail has it covered. And it's all perfectly mobile-friendly and of course looks amazing.

Done and dusted πŸ‘

Your school newsletter is now ready to be shared with your school community β€” we have this covered too.

When you are ready, in a single click you can:

  • Send a beautiful email to your parents or other groups
  • Share the newsletter to Facebook and/or Twitter
  • Send it out as a Text Message
  • Update the school website 
  • Add school news to a blog site

And finally, built into Hail we have stats to let you know which articles and school newsletters are being most read.
