Make the most of the off-season to strengthen connections and streamline messaging. As the school year winds down and summer break begins, many educators and administrators finally have the breathing room to reflect, reset, and recharge.
But while students may be off enjoying their break, the quieter summer months present the perfect opportunity for schools and districts to fine-tune their communication strategies.
At BrightArrow, we believe great communication is the foundation of a successful school community. Whether it’s preparing for emergencies, engaging parents, or sharing important updates, now is the time to enhance your tools, processes, and messaging for a smoother school year ahead.
5 Ways to Strengthen Your Communication This Summer
1. Clean Up Contact Lists
Ensure your parent, student, and staff contact information is accurate and up-to-date. Remove outdated records, verify emails and phone numbers, and confirm your database is ready for fall. Accurate data is key to delivering timely, targeted messages.
2. Automate Where You Can
Save time and reduce manual work by setting up automated attendance alerts, daily announcements, or emergency notifications. BrightArrow’s intuitive system makes it easy to automate routine communications, so your staff has more time to focus on what matters most.
3. Train Your Team
Use this downtime to get your staff comfortable with your communication system. Host internal training sessions or request a BrightArrow user training to make sure everyone knows how to send messages, access reports, and use key features efficiently.
4. Pre-Schedule Important Messages
Got back-to-school reminders, registration deadlines, or orientation dates? Schedule those messages now! With BrightArrow, you can pre-plan your calendar and ensure important updates are delivered without last-minute scrambling.
5. Use Feedback to Improve
Take a moment to reflect on the past year. What worked? What didn’t? Gather feedback from staff and parents to identify communication gaps or pain points—and use that input to improve your strategy moving forward.
