At Blackwell, we have a number of effective mechanisms for communicating with families and students about events and activities. Of course, it is not necessary to use all of these resources to share information with our community. However, it is often helpful to have all of the information in one place. We encourage you to share this information with committee members and other Blackwell volunteers who may want to utilize our communication tools! Please feel free to contact us with questions, suggestions for improvement, etc.

NOTE: All announcements that are NOT PTSA or school sponsored can be posted to PeachJar. PeachJar is a Lake Washington School District newsletter distributed to all LWSD schools announcing community events of interest. Detailed instructions can be found here: http://www.lwsd.org/For-Community/Advertising-in-LWSD/Pages/default.aspx
We can create event registrations and allow participants to pre-pay for tickets on the website. Contact communications@blackwellptsa.org to set up registration for your event.

The Blackwell PTSA web site also has a volunteer sign up function and we encourage using it. Contact the communications team communications@blackwellptsa.org at least two weeks in advance, if you would like us to create a sign up for you.
Use the PTSA's communications channels whenever you can. If you really need to post something directly from the Blackwell office, here's their policy:
