Brand Your Newsletters

Branding your newsletters helps you connect with families and your community on an emotional level through a fun and exciting way.

Not only does it express the district's values, but it also keeps you and your staff focused on your mission and vision as you're all working to ensure the success of all students.

🏠 Add the school/District logo at the top of the newsletter.

🖼 Add a custom background that matches your brand.

👵🏽 Design a custom header with our Canva integration.

Showcase your district brand from the start by adding your district or school logo at the top of the newsletter. You can increase the size of the logo by hovering your cursor over it and clicking on "Layout".

Instead of adding the school/district logo, you can also add the school mascot!

Here are a few ideas for a custom background:

1. A picture of the school building.
2. Your school/district mascot.
3. One solid color that matches the school/district color.

As Liz Lubeskie, Secondary Coordinator of Online Learning & Tech Integration at Manheim Central School District, said:

"Come up with a catchy title that matches your mascot or your brand".

Make sure to also use the school/district colors and mascot to further express what it stands for and its values.
