Items Discussed:
Great Schools profile needs to be created
Getting access to Kinder/Elementary School Info Nights (Kids Klub, maybe independent schools fair)
Posting reviews on Yelp, Nextdoor, mom groups, Great Schools
Print ads: Pasadena Weekly; LA Parent; Outlook
Places to drop flyers: health care providers; kids’ gyms; Rose Bowl; tutoring places; PALS program; coding/STEM businesses; farmers’ markets; Gerrish; La Casita by Madison ES
Need for short blurb to be drafted to forward on to parents for posting on social media
Video to promote school (Andrea and Rachel said they could be interviewed)
Timing of outreach/marketing: private school searches happening now; need to get the word out now; also consider when PUSD lotteries happen (2x/year)
Need to develop 1-pager about who we are
Next Steps:
Anne to reach out to Kids Klub about info night (Anne emailed on 9/22)
Andrea to connect Anne with health care providers (OT, etc.)
Andrea and Rachel taking postcards to places they frequent
Anne to draft blurb for posting and 1-pager with school highlights
