COSPRA is in the house!! We are excited to learn, grow, and connect at @NSPRA @GO_COSPRA #COolSPRA #SchoolPR

Calling all #SchoolPR professionals…register for Camp COSPRA, June 5-7 in Breck for amazing professional development 🙌 cospraorg.finalsite.com/events/summer-…

#Usher was good entertainment and if you don’t agree then go to bed. #SuperBowl

@SamEAnderson How did it say to explain our job to kindergarteners?! I’d love to know! #K12PRChat

A2: Revamping yearly communication, coming up with Convocation themes, and how to explain my job to kindergarteners #K12PRChat

@delainanicole Yes! 🙌

A5: Not to beat the ChatGPT horse to its finish, but it is a good tool for figuring out alternative ways for explaining something. Also, writing for the web skills: bullet points, short paragraphs. #k12prchat

A5: Simplify Language! Ask ChatGPT - Ask an expert in the field - Use an infographic - Test it out with a friend. #K12PRChat

@beccalatham3 It’s on my desk - I’ll screenshot it tomorrow. It’s super cute. Talks about making friends, telling stories, and celebrating students.

A4: 🤯Chat GPT! I've been practicing a couple times a week to learn its capabilities. Most recently I've used it to ask about research for an upcoming campaign. #K12PRChat

A1: Calendar Alerts (multiple) and Silent Mode 🤫 #K12PRchat

A0: 👋 I'm Sam Briggs, Director of Communication for @WidefieldD3 and I'm from Colorado Springs, Colorado 🏔️

@beccalatham3 Despite the GIF...I'll be there 🙌

So excited to co-host tomorrow’s #K12PRChat! Comment with your favorite GIF if you’re joining in! #SchoolPR

@StacyHawn @NSPRA Agreed!

A5: @NSPRA already does an amazing job at providing so many professional development sessions and webinars. I would love to see a crisis one that could be broken into breakout rooms and work through scenarios. Talking through what we would do & how we would communicate #k12PRchat

A4: My mighty team of two (shout out @CarolynMStephen) is efficient but we could definitely fill gaps and expand in areas. Marketing, videography, fundraising. #K12PRchat #SchoolPR

@Rockshot_Joelle Wow, that is amazing to hear! Building relationships is key. Great job 👏

A3: My passion right here! I spend a LOT of time building relationships with sups other than my own & speaking at their conferences. Telling our story of #schoolpr with a district of 780. They can do it, too! #k12prchat

A3: Invite the smaller districts to join your local SPRA - let them see for themselves the value of investing in school communications. #K12PRchat #SchoolPR
