You Get This Newsletter Because You Belong Here

What does an IEP overview have in common with a book report or a weekly class update?

They’re all important.
They’re all made in Smore.
And they’re all designed to be understood by every family you serve.

That’s what makes a Smore newsletter different. Our free teacher newsletter templates aren’t just beautiful and easy to edit—they’re ADA-compliant, mobile-friendly, and translatable into 130+ languages on the family’s end.

In other words, no matter what you’re sending, Smore helps make sure every family can read it, understand it, and feel included.

Templates That Include Everyone

With Smore, you start in English, and families receive newsletters in their preferred language, on whatever device they have, without needing to download an app.

What does that look like in practice? Educators use Smore to send:

  • Editable classroom newsletter templates for weekly updates and event reminders
  • Parent Conference invites with auto-translation built in
  • IEP and 504 overviews with ADA-compliant formatting
  • FAFSA help and college-readiness info that families can access in real time
  • Student-created book reports that you can share with families at home (and translated automatically!)
  • Informational newsletters with resources to support English Learner families

Why It Works

When every family can read the info, they’re more likely to engage with it.

When newsletters are easy to access (on mobile, in their language, in a readable format), families feel seen, not sidelined.

That’s the difference between sending a newsletter and building trust.

Smore is built by people who understand what real multilingual school communication requires.
