Follow school guidelines when creating email signatures

Before creating your email signature as a teacher of a particular school be sure to check branding guidelines. Most of the schools have developed a brand book and share their requirements on the website.

Add a headshot to make yourself recognizable

Using your photo will make your email more personal and help parents, school children, and vendors, who help to organize a new school trip, to understand whose email they're reading. This will increase the number of responses and required actions.

Add social icons to your signature

If your school has official Facebook pages or Twitter profiles, consider adding links with social icons to school pages on social platforms. Let your recipients know about other school activities and possible ways to reach you.

Add a school website

Almost every school regularly updates its website and provides general information about the school, teachers, administrative staff, events, and achievements. So why not increase the positive image of your school and let people easily reach information?

Don't overload your signature

Keep your signature clean and simple. A good email signature for a teacher has only valid contacts, a moderate color palette, and is a maximum of five lines long.

Promote events you organize

Nowadays teachers have plenty of work to do besides curating classes. hey also contact parents, organize trips and school events, participate in administrative work. Use email signatures as an additional way of promoting activities you organize.
