Smore Newsletters & the weekly Brave Bulletin

Many USD 204 teachers have embraced the use of Smore newsletters as a tool to foster stronger connections with parents. Smore provides a platform for educators to share classroom highlights, upcoming events, and important academic updates directly with families. The district is also using Smore to communicate with all families through the Brave Bulletin, a weekly e-newsletter that consolidates updates from every school within the district. This comprehensive bulletin not only keeps parents informed about school-specific news but also includes community-wide information, ensuring everyone stays engaged and well-informed. You can view the most recent Brave Bulletin newsletters here! Parents/guardians not receiving the weekly newsletter should check to make sure your information is correct in the Skylert section of Skyward. If you need assistance, please contact your child's school. Community members wishing to subscribe to the newsletter can do so here.
