Welcome back, teacher friend! 🎄
It’s Day 2 of our Christmas in July: 25 Days of Free Back-to-School Resources celebration—and today’s freebie is all about easy, beautiful communication with families.
Whether your school requires newsletters or not, having one is a classroom game-changer. Trust me—this little habit can make a big difference.

Why This Freebie Matters
Monthly newsletters are one of those low-effort, high-impact classroom tools. A single page each month helps you:
- Keep families informed about upcoming events and important dates
- Share classroom happenings and reminders in a consistent, clear format
- Build trust and strengthen that all-important home-school connection
- Celebrate student successes with shout-outs and photos
I loved sending mine out as a PDF via Class Dojo or email—families appreciated the heads-up and I appreciated fewer questions in my inbox. 😉
