Calling all middle school teachers! NGPF’s Middle School Course now includes parent newsletters. You can more easily keep families informed and support student learning at home.

Each unit of the Middle School Course has a customizable newsletter to send home to families. It includes space for important announcements, a unit summary, and prompts to start financial conversations at home. 

Check Out the Newsletters

1. Money in Our Lives
2. Consumer Skills
3. Budgeting
4. Credit
5. Saving
6. Investing
7. Protecting Yourself
8. Prepare for Success
9. Life After High School

How to Find and Use the Newsletters

The newsletters will be added to the Middle School Course page this fall. You can also find them linked on each Lesson Guide under "Plan Your Unit".

To use the newsletters, make a copy and customize any portions highlighted in yellow. Then, include them in the communications you send home to students’ families. 

For high school teachers - our other courses already include parent newsletters!

• Newsletters are linked at the top of each unit on the Semester Course, Full-Year Course, and Trimester Course pages. They are also linked in each Lesson Guide.
