Communicating About CutTime to Your Program Community
We’ve prepared a series of Welcome to CutTime Kits with ready-made materials to help you communicate your use of CutTime with your program stakeholders.
Welcome to CutTime for Members Kits
These kits contain email announcement templates and distributable flyers with links to landing pages on our gocuttime.com website where your program members can learn more about CutTime, get answers to frequently asked questions, and access relevant resources.
Welcome to CutTime Kit for Parents-Guardians
Welcome to CutTime Kit for Students
Make Sure to Spread the Word About CutTime to your Members!
We also encourage you to update your program handbooks and website with information about the new CutTime. We’ve prepared suggested wording that you can use for your website, eNewsletter, social media and handbooks along with graphic image banners in our CutTime Brand Kit. Inside, you will also find printable posters for classroom display and a set of presentation slides with a video that can be used for recruitment and orientation meetings with your members.
