How Can You Share the Love . . . About Riverwalk Academy?
As many know, February is when we celebrate Valentine's Day and we did just this over the past week. Many take the day to think about those we love. February is also a great time to share with others what you love about your school with prospective families.
Here are a few things you can do to help recruit new families.
Word of Mouth
There is nothing better than a mom talking with another mom and a dad talking with another dad. We want others to simply know about the choice of children learning in an environment through a project-based learning model. We find that we can send out alota lot of communication in a variety of formats but telling others about your experience is our best advertising. Think of those who have children who will start kindergarten next year. Let them know about us.
Social Media
Feel free to copy/past or share any items from our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram accounts. So many of you have connections with others who haven't heard about our school. You can also send them to our website, forward a newsletter, or give our email address. Use whatever is easiest for you to share with other families.
Flyers for Daycares or Community Organizations
Reach out to Ms. Bumgarner and she’ll provide you some fliers to take to programs that have four year-olds who will start school in the fall. Feel free to share these with church or community organizations that may help inform families. If you choose to drop off flyers, please let our office staff know where you are taking them so we can know that school or organization has been covered.
Invite Us to Come and Share
We love to tell our school story of impacting the next generation of change makers. If you are a member of a club or organization that might be interested in having us speak, we are more than glad to come and make a presentation in whatever format works for you. I'm always amazed when someone tells me, "I’ve never heard of Riverwalk Academy.”
Leave a Review
There are numerous school review websites and we’d be honored if you took a few minutes to leave us a review. Niche, Great Schools, or Google. I’ve found that for many sites like these, people will leave a review when they are upset, but not when things are going well. Help us change the narrative of these review websites by telling them about your experience at Riverwalk Academy.
To date, we've had only 12 students who have indicated that they are leaving us at the conclusion of this school year. That’s a 98% projected student retention rate, and for this we are grateful.
We want to "share the love" about Riverwalk Academy and need your help in doing that. We appreciate all the ways you support our school and your child. You are the greatest difference maker in our students.
In Strength and Blessings,
~Dr. Compton
