School Newsletters

Create your school newsletter in just a few steps!
So how?
(Well the first step is to sign up for Hail. You can do that here or the Hail team will do a free set-up — just drop us a message support@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 a few different styles to choose from but the most common format used by schools is our 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
Then you click Publish.
In Hail there is no design expertise needed — no need to worry about the size of the images being used, the layout or format — 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.
