Email Signatures for Employees
-
One simple yet powerful way to put District 7’s best foot forward is through the use of official email signatures for 2022-2023 by all district employees. With logo options for each school as well as general district options (for employees at non-school work sites), our official signatures create a consistent professional identity for employees while strengthening the branding of schools and the district alike.
Use of an official email signature is part of the district’s employee expectations and should be implemented by every staff member.
If you have questions about the email signatures or need assistance with this process, please contact communications@spart7.org.
