One of the thing we discovered when we started helping PTAs and PTOs move to electronic communication vs paper communication was the challenge of dealing with gathering the newsletter content. Submissions were received via email, some put in the volunteer’s box to be retyped, some people even said “Can you just write a blurb about…”
This was difficult for both the email director and the monthly (PDF) newsletter directors to coordinate and manage.
That’s when we came up with the Newsletter Submission Forms. The forms explain exactly what the group needs and walks the submitter through the entire process. Now the job of crafting the monthly PDF PTO/PTA newsletter content is on the submitters shoulders and the communications volunteers can focus on delivering a nice newsletter, not spending hours formatting and writing it.
Feel Free to fill out this form and test it.
