What you'll need

  • Claude account (free at {{tool:Claude.url}})
  • A way to collect teacher/staff updates (Google Form, email thread, or your current method)
  • Your newsletter distribution tool (ParentSquare, email, school website)
  • Cost: Free (Claude free tier handles newsletters well)

How-To Guide: AI-Assisted Weekly School Newsletter

Step 1: Build your information-gathering system

  1. Before you can write a great newsletter, you need the content. The week before implementing this system, send teachers and staff a simple request:

"Please send me by Thursday noon for the newsletter:

  • Any upcoming events, dates, or reminders
  • One classroom highlight or student achievement (no student names — just grade/class level)
  • Any supply or volunteer needs"

This gives you the raw material Claude will work with.
