When we send out weekly newsletters, permission slip updates, or classroom announcements, we want 100% of our families to receive the message. But did you know that standard practices, like emailing a screenshot of a flyer or pasting giant website links, accidentally lock out parents who rely on translation apps, screen magnifiers, or smartphones to read school updates?
In this practical, 45-minute session, we will shift our focus to parent and student communication. You will learn how a few tiny, effortless tweaks to your emails and newsletters can ensure your messages are perfectly readable for every family, every time.
This is a hands-on session. Bring a template or draft of a communication you send home often (a weekly update, a syllabus, or a field trip flyer). We will give it an "accessibility makeover" together so you can start the upcoming school year communicating with total confidence!
