Welcome back to Beyond the Tour, where twice a month you’ll get clear, practical enrollment strategies you can put to work this week.

 

Let's get started. 

If You Do One Thing This Week:

1. 🗓️ Get on the Faculty Week agenda.    

 

Find whoever builds the faculty inservice schedule.

Ask for 5 minutes to talk to all faculty about the incoming new students. 

 

Your goal is to get faculty excited about new students coming in (Fresh ideas! Fresh perspectives! Fresh jokes in the classroom! Fresh parent volunteer energy!) 

 

Five minutes for you in front of all faculty also sets the tone keeping. admission top of mind for them. 

 

Not yet on the agenda yet? Fix it this week. 

2 Tips to DO MORE:

2. ✅ Turn welcome bags into word of mouth.

Want the extra mile? Add a Post-it: "We're so excited you're joining us! Please share with others!"

 

One bag. Two new touchpoints in the community. I love a good win-win.

 

3. 📋 Make it stick.

 

If you're sending out a newsletter, keep in mind who is reading it and what is most important for them to see.

Are you missng anything obvious? 

 

This is a great role for a parent who wants to get involved.

I’m a teacher at heart, and love helping people get better at what they do.
