Smore

Smore is an online flyer that can be used for communication between home and school.  Currently, our school counselor uses Smore as a way to connect to parents, and today, I was able to learn a little more about this tool.  To check out my Smore flyer, click here.

Snapshot of the online flyer.


Smore allows for videos, pictures, and text within your flyer and it's very simple to use.  After you create a free account, you  choose to use a template or create your own.  Then you simply fill in your information, customize the layout to your liking, and publish.  I copied the link to the flyer and plan to send it to my parents through email.  You can upgrade to different packages depending on your needs.  See below for pricing information.

And great news!! Educators can get a discount- $59 per year!

Using Smore flyers is a wonderful way to communicate to families about the great things your students are doing in your classroom.  Check it out for yourself!
