Free for school leaders
School newsletter generator
Paste your notes for the week, shorthand and all. Sparky writes the family newsletter in the chat, ready to paste into an email: a short section for each update with your dates, times and amounts written out, and a Spanish version when you ask.
Used by 250,000+ teachers, and built to FERPA, COPPA and GDPR standards.
How the school newsletter generator works
Paste your notes
Ask Sparky to write this week's family newsletter in the chat, and paste your bullets under the request, shorthand and all. You can attach the file you keep them in instead.
Read the newsletter
Sparky writes the newsletter in the chat. Ask for your name and school in the sign-off, a warmer tone or a Spanish version, and Sparky writes it again with the change.
Send it home
Copy the newsletter into an email to families or your school's messaging app. For paper copies in backpacks, ask Sparky to put it in a document you can print.
What goes in a school newsletter
Dates to remember
Ask for every date in one list at the top, so a parent who reads nothing else still sees picture day and early release.
A short section for each update
The book fair, the drop-off line, a new policy: each update gets its own heading and a sentence or two.
Thank-yous
The PTA, volunteers and staff, named with what they did, such as the $3,200 the fall festival raised for the playground.
Your facts, written out
Sparky keeps your dates, times and amounts and turns "thurs 10/22" into "Thursday, October 22". It doesn't add events your notes leave out.
A Spanish version
Ask for Spanish, or another language your families read, and Sparky writes a full translation.
A picture for the top
For printed copies, ask Sparky to put the newsletter in a document with a picture at the top, such as autumn leaves for October.

Data privacy
Safe to use with student work
What happens to the files you upload and what your students write in Flint.
Not used to train AI
Student data in Flint is never used to train AI models.
Not shared
Flint does not share student data, or any other user data, with third parties.
Kept separate
Each school's data is kept apart from every other school's, and the AI providers Flint runs on can't reach it.
Signed agreements, on request
Flint signs a data processing agreement with any school that needs one, written to US state law and EU GDPR.
What teachers say about Flint
"Flint generates clear, shareable reports that I can provide to students and parents before assessments, enhancing communication and keeping everyone informed about the student's learning progress."
Bonnie Geiger
Middle School Science Teacher at Pine Crest School
"Flint makes it easier for teachers to personalize lessons and save time on routine tasks. Students get to use AI more as a study partner - not just for answers, but for guiding their thinking and building confidence."
Somkid Leewan
Educational Technology Specialist
"Students have learned they can use the tool on their own to get feedback and instruction whenever they need it. They have leveraged Flint to democratize individualized tutoring, ensuring that academic support is accessible to all."
Mica Mulloy
Assistant Principal for Instruction & Innovation at Brophy College Preparatory
Frequently asked questions
Is the school newsletter generator free?
Yes. It's free for principals, assistant principals, office staff and teachers.
What should a school newsletter include?
The dates families need, what's happening at school, anything families have to do and a thank-you to the people who helped. Put the dates first and keep each item to a few sentences, since many parents read the newsletter on a phone.
Can AI write a school newsletter?
Yes. Paste your notes and Sparky writes the newsletter from them. Sparky only knows what you tell it, so check every date, time and name before the newsletter goes home.
Can it write the newsletter in Spanish?
Yes. Ask for a Spanish version and Sparky writes it with the same dates and amounts. Ask a colleague who reads Spanish to look it over before you send it, as you would with any translation.
Can Flint send the newsletter to families?
No. Copy the newsletter from the chat and paste it into your email or your school's messaging app. To print copies, ask Sparky to put the newsletter in a document, then print it or download it as a Word file.
Should I use the newsletter generator or the email writer?
Use the newsletter for a weekly or monthly roundup of several updates. For a message about one thing, such as a field trip reminder or a reply to a parent, the AI email writer writes a single email with a subject line.
