News for OWU Families is accepting posts for the October edition. Please submit items using this News for OWU Families form by noon on Friday, Sept. 27.
This monthly email communication is sent to all parents and families of current students and mimics the style and process of the OWU Daily. Last month’s open rate was 63.5%, so this is a great way to provide families with information! For October, consider fall break and related events/opportunities/deadlines, including those occurring right after the break.
Tips: 1) eliminate OWU jargon, abbreviations, or acronyms from your emails; 2) use ‘family’ or ‘parents and families’; 3) consider your voice and tone – direct your message to families (not students).
Emails will be sent on the first Wednesday of every month and submissions will be due the Friday before each email release. The goal of this digest is to keep parents and families informed, engaged, and regularly supplied with resources. Please plan to review with your team monthly what information is of value to parents and families from your area.
