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. 🎉 Share the cheer of the new year.  

 

Make a list of all of your feeder schools and your professional contacts at each one.

 

Contact at least 3 of them this week, and send them wishes along the lines of “Have a good year!”

For bonus points, thank them for the amazing kids they have sent your way. ❤️

 

 

2 Tips to DO MORE:

2. ✅ Share what's helpful. 

 

Ask your school leadership what would help them feel prepared for tours and student visitors.

 

What do they need to know to be welcoming and ready? 

A calendar invite with visitor details? 

A quick heads-up that morning? 

Something else?

 

Get clear on what works best for them, then build it into your routine.

 

3. 🗓️ Get on the duties rotation     

 

Talk to whoever assigns duties, and get on the rotation for lunch, carpool or recess at least once a week.

 

If you have a team, get them on duties, too.  

 

This is not “time away from work”, or a waste of time, or a chore.

This is the best time to see kids and faculty in action.

The more you know the kids and faculty, the better you'll be able to sell your school to families.

 

Bottom line: Find a way to get into the fabric of the school. You'll be happy you did.
