What to include on a back to school flyer
The most-read back-to-school flyers put the first day of school front and center, then answer the questions every family has: what supplies to bring, when open house or meet-the-teacher night is, the daily schedule and bell times, and bus or drop-off details. Add a friendly welcome line and a way to reach the school or teacher with questions. If you teach a specific classroom, a short welcome and your contact info turns the flyer into a personal first impression for families.
Send it home or share it online
Print the flyer to send home in backpacks during the first week, post it on the front-office and classroom bulletin boards, and export an image to email families or post to your school's website and social pages before the year starts. Because you can reuse the layout, next August you simply duplicate the project, update the dates and supply list, and export a fresh version.
