Most Christian schools hand out welcome kits filled with paper clutter and cheap plastic—and families forget about it by the next day. Want yours to actually make an impression?

Here’s what to include:

1. Something Wearable

Start with a soft T-shirt or dad hat. Bonus points if it has your school verse or motto in a clean, modern font.

2. A Branded Item That Gets Used

Think stainless steel tumbler, magnet for the fridge, or even a lunchbox tag. It should feel practical—not promotional.

3. Mission-Driven Messaging

Include a card with a short message from the principal or head of school that speaks to the heart, not just the calendar. And yes, go ahead and include the calendar too.

4. An Internal Invite

QR code to a welcome video. A list of parent Facebook groups. A “3 ways to get plugged in this fall” insert. This turns your welcome kit into a relationship-building tool.
