News for OWU Families is accepting posts for the May edition. Please submit news for parents and families using this News for OWU Families form by noon Friday, April 28. This monthly email communication is sent to all parents and families of current students and mimics the style and process of the OWU Daily. The open rate the past two months was 63%. Families are reading it! For the May edition, also consider what parents may need/want to know over the summer months. Add it to your May message or submit ahead of time for June & July.
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 to families on the first Wednesday of every month. Submissions will be due the Friday before each email release. The goal of this digest is to keep parents and families informed, engaged, and supplied regularly with resources. Please plan to review with your team on a monthly basis what information is of value to parents and families from your area. We encourage you to make monthly calendar reminders to create submissions and spread the word about this new communication tool to engage our OWU families.
