Adding News/Blog
In order for a piece of news or information to show up in the News section on the home page of mcauliffeptsa.org or in the Star Gazer, it must be entered in our News (formerly called Blog).
The Star Gazer replaces most flyers and Parent Organizer. It is delivered either Daily or Weekly depending on what the parent has chosen. The vast majority of parents get it Weekly. It is delivered on Thursday nights.
In order for something to appear in Friday's Star Gazer, your entry must be submitted AND APPROVED by the Communications VP by Thursday early evening.
- Email communications@mcauliffeptsa.org when you have finished entering your news.
- If your news item it doesn't show up on the home page by 7:00 pm, call Susannah Pryal at 435-968-2600.
Ideally, your news should be in a few days earlier.
