Simplify and Streamline Your Graphics with Canva

Clear and engaging graphics can be the difference between a parent scrolling past your announcement to actually receiving the information. Increase parent engagement when you simplify and streamline your graphics with Canva.

It’s common for each PTO player to have their own way of communicating and drafting communication – but this can lead to visual cacophony.

Many parents prefer some kind of consistency. Consistent fonts, colors and formats can become a visual cue that benefits your organization.

An easy place to start is “branding” your content with the same header each time a newsletter goes out. For instance, if you use Smore you can upload your own header and background for a clean and professional look. Check out my freebie Smore header template here.

It’s easy to choose a font and use your school colors to build templates that everyone can use.

Canva offers a slew of preformatted templates for everything from banner images, social media post sizes and newsletters.

Find a style you love, update it with your fonts/colors and share the template link with everyone who will be creating graphics for your PTO. It’s fun, easy and versatile!
