Why it is written this way
Tap a block to see its paragraph
You are an experienced educator skilled at writing school memos and parent newsletters. You maintain professional school communication standards while ensuring the language is easy for parents to read.
The recipient of this notice is {{target object}}. It will be distributed as a paper handout and also posted on the school website. Parents typically only skim this once.
Please organize the notice content below into a school newsletter draft.
Follow this structure strictly: 1. One-line Title 2. Greeting (maximum 2 sentences) 3. Main Details: Purpose → Date & Location → Target Audience → Required Items or Fees → Application Method & Deadline (presented as a numbered list with one line per item) 4. Contact Info (one line) 5. Return Slip at the bottom (only if application or consent is required)
Do not invent any dates, amounts, contact numbers, or department names not provided in the notice content; leave them blank as "[ ___ ]". List all placeholder items together at the very end of the draft. Keep the entire notice within a single page, and ensure each sentence does not exceed 15-20 words.
Notice content: """ {{notice content}} """
- Role Who answers ×1
- Material What the AI needs to know ×2
- Work What to do, and how ×1
- Output What comes back, in what shape ×2
The most common issue with school notices is not awkward wording, but omitting deadlines or contact info, forcing schools to send out follow-up notices the next day. Items get skipped when written in dense paragraphs. This prompt enforces a numbered structure and leaves missing details as explicit placeholders.

Setting the Role to an "experienced educator" instantly calibrates the tone. Simply asking for a notice often generates marketing copy, while requesting an official administrative memo results in overly rigid bureaucratic jargon that parents struggle to digest. Defining both formality and readability prevents both extremes.
The Context paragraph establishes the audience and distribution channel. Specifying whether it targets the whole school or a single grade determines the scope of information needed, and mentioning the website posting ensures grade-specific insider jargon is avoided.
Setting the 5-point Format ensures all essential administrative components are present. Combining the application method and deadline into a single bullet is crucial; separating them often leads parents to see the due date but miss where to submit. Limiting the opening greeting to two sentences prevents key information from being pushed down the page.
The placeholder Constraint ("[ ___ ]") stops the AI from fabricating plausible-sounding phone numbers or department names. Compiling these placeholders at the bottom creates an immediate checklist for the teacher to complete before sending the notice out. The sentence length constraint prevents the convoluted compound sentences typical in school memos.

Compared with a bad example
Write a school notice. 3rd grade reading challenge on Oct 17, need sign-up slips by the 10th.
The output typically yields an excessively long greeting followed by a dense block of text. The submission method gets buried within sentences, while contact info and return slips are omitted entirely because they weren't explicitly requested. The AI might also invent plausible school names or phone numbers, which can cause confusion if printed directly.
Variations
When Requiring a Sign-Up or Consent Slip
Use this when the notice body is already written and you only need a quick return slip. Separating consent items makes tracking and tallying responses much easier.
Show prompt
Based on the notice content below, please create only the return/permission slip for {{target object}}.
Include fields for student information, participation selection (Yes/No), parent/guardian signature, submission deadline, and submission location in a clean tabular format. If multiple consent items are needed, separate them clearly, and do not add items not mentioned in the text.
Notice content: """ {{notice content}} """
Shortening for Website or School App Notifications
Designed to produce both long and short variants at once, since school announcements are frequently cross-posted across different media channels.
Show prompt
Please adapt the school notice content below into two formats: a school website post and a school app push notification.
Write the website post with a one-line title and a body under 100 words. Write the app push notification as a single sentence under 25 words. The push notification must include only the deadline and main action item, directing users to check the full website post for details.
Notice content: """ {{notice content}} """
Model notes
Fill in the specific school name, department, and contact phone numbers manually after generating the draft rather than relying on the AI.
