✏️ Writing Newsletters

Add an event block

The Event block creates a clean date card with title, date, time, and location.

The Event block is purpose-built for school schedules. It renders as a clean, visually distinct card in both the email and the web version of your newsletter.

Adding an event

  1. Click Event in the left sidebar.
  2. An event card appears in the editor with placeholder text.
  3. Click each field to edit: event name, date, time, and location.

Event fields

  • Event name — "Spring Concert," "Science Fair," "Parent-Teacher Conferences"
  • Date — type a date in any format (e.g., "May 17" or "May 17, 2026")
  • Time — "3:30 PM" or "Doors open at 6 PM"
  • Location — "Main Gym," "Room 14," or a full street address
Tip: Add one Event block per event rather than listing multiple events in a single block. This makes the newsletter easier to scan and lets parents focus on individual dates.

Multiple events

You can add as many Event blocks as you need. They stack vertically in the newsletter. For a newsletter with many upcoming dates, consider placing them after a List block that summarizes the highlights.
