Your school newsletter, as a flipbook on the school site
Share the school magazine or newsletter as a real page-turning edition parents can read right on your website.
Most schools already make their newsletter or yearbook as a PDF. Instead of asking parents to download a file, embed it on the school website as a flipbook they can flip through on a phone — no app, no login.
Who it's for
- Primary and secondary schools with a regular newsletter.
- PTAs and parent councils sharing updates and event news.
- Colleges and universities with a prospectus, magazine or alumni update.
What to include
- A cover with the school name and date, and a contents page for a clickable menu.
- Photos from events, class updates and student work.
- Clickable links to sign-up forms, the calendar, or the payment/permission page.
- A head-teacher's message and key dates up front.
Tips
- Embed each edition on the school website or intranet so parents read it in place.
- Works with Google Workspace for Education — keep the PDF in the school Drive and share it with "anyone with the link".
- Keep community-only editions private with a PIN, and build a free archive of the whole year.
- Add a QR code in reception or on a printed take-home slip so parents open the digital version instantly.
Content ideas
A weekly or monthly newsletter; the end-of-year yearbook; an open-day prospectus for prospective families; a sports-day or school-play programme; or a welcome pack for new starters.

Frequently asked questions
Can we keep a newsletter private to our community?
Yes. A flipbook can be kept unlisted, and you can add a PIN so only people with the code can open it.
Does it work with Google Workspace for Education?
Yes. Toombler reads the PDF from a Google Drive share link, which works with school Workspace accounts as long as the file is shared with 'anyone with the link'.
