Which item is listed as a strategy for informing families about upcoming events and opportunities?

• A. Welcome letters
• B. Calendar of events and invites
• C. Resource brochure
• D. New-family meetings before school year

Answer: (B)

Providing families with a clear, centralized way to learn about upcoming events and opportunities is best done through a calendar of events and invites. A calendar brings together dates, times, locations, deadlines, and how to participate in one accessible place, which helps families plan ahead, RSVP, and stay engaged throughout the year. Invitations linked to each event reinforce details and prompt action, ensuring families don’t miss important opportunities. While welcome letters introduce the school and set a welcoming tone, they don’t offer a systematized schedule. A resource brochure highlights available programs and supports but isn’t focused on event timing. New-family meetings before the school year are valuable for orientation but do not serve as ongoing notifications about events and opportunities.
