Introduce Connect to Your Families
Welcome your community to SchoolStatus Connect with a clear introduction. We recommend that you spread the word across multiple channels to ensure every family receives it.
For these purposes, we've created a Smore Newsletter welcoming families to SchoolStatus Connect! Simply send this link on to your families by choosing the "Embed Smore Newsletter" option and copying and pasting the URL: https://secure.smore.com/n/bqde3
Prefer to send an Announcement that translates directly into each family's preferred language? Save time by using one of our Ready to Go Templates or copy and edit this example!
Educate Your Families on Connect
Inform parents about the value and ease of SchoolStatus Connect. Use these editable handouts and presentation for Back-to-School Night, to have readily on-hand at the front desk, or to send home in students' backpacks!
