The Back-to-School Checklist for
School-Home Communications

Ready, set, go! Start your year off strong with a plan for success

Like preparing for a race, getting school-home communications ready for back to school takes time, teamwork, and a plan for success—and we’ve put together resources to help you and your team sprint toward victory.

Our Back-to-School Checklist for School-Home Communications is newly updated for 2024, breaking down all of your tasks into clear, actionable areas that you and your team can tackle before the school year starts.

The checklist includes:

  • A comprehensive plan that takes you through every stage of setting up communications for the new school year, from evaluating current strategies to coordinating launch tasks
  • Detailed best practices for school-home communications, developed from more than a decade of supporting thousands of schools and districts as they head back to school
  • Access to our tools and in-depth guides for district communication, including resources for addressing common barriers and a self-assessment

Available as both an editable worksheet and shareable PDF!
