The Publicity Committee is here to help promote your event!
When planning, don’t forget that its success depends on how well you communicate. Every correspondence on behalf of the PTA requires a Communication Request. Click here to download the Communication Request.
New this year:
Submit all Communications Requests at least 2 weeks prior to desired posting.
Although several different communication methods are available, the preferred tools are:
- Romona PTA Website
- Romona Review (From The PTA section of the principal's weekly email.)
- PTA Bulletin Board Outside
Romona PTA Website
Every PTA-Sponsored event will automatically be listed on the PTA Pipeline. If you would like to use specific language or graphics on this page or would like more exposure with other communication tools, please fill out the Communications Request.
Only the most vital information will be listed on the PTA Pipeline, with a link to your separate committee page. On your separate committee page, you are welcome to request additional or more detailed information regarding your event.
Requests should be submitted in ready-to-use form, containing all the required detail without need for significant
editing. We need to rely on your submission for all the facts, so
please make sure you validate the details with your PTA VP or committee
chair before submission. We reserve the right to edit non-pertinent information on the Events & Dates page.
Requests that include using PayPal need to be submitted 2 weeks prior to posting.

Romona Review, From the PTA
Consider the Romona Review, which will be included in From The PTA section of the principal's weekly Friday email for the following cases:
- Your event is PTA-Sponsored, (already listed on the PTA Pipeline), but would like additional exposure
- Your event / organization is not PTA-Sponsored, but you have been approved as 'Connecting Beyond PTA' partners and would like additional exposure
Keep in mind, your message for the Romona Review will be a bullet-pointed, short message with a link to our PTA
website for further information. No PDF's or attachments of any kind can will be considered for this publication. Generally, the Romona Review will contain information 1 - 3 weeks out.
Submissions (a completed Communications Request) for each week’s Romona Review must be in by 11:00 AM on Tuesday of each week for Friday's edition.
Requests should be submitted in ready-to-use form, containing all the required detail without need for significant
editing. We need to rely on your submission for all the facts, so
please make sure you validate the details with your PTA VP or committee
chair before submission. We reserve the right to edit non-pertinent information as needed.

Requests should be submitted in ready-to-use form, containing all the required detail without need for significant
editing. We need to rely on your submission for all the facts, so

Other forms of communication
- Pioneer Press (Wilmette Life) To submit....
- Wilmette Beacon To submit....
- TribLocal To submit....
- Backpack Express... Paper flyers will only be sent home under very limited circumstances and will require a special approval process, so please consider paperless alternatives first. Click here for details. As the school continues to “Go
Green”, Paper Flyers distributed via backpack express should almost
never be needed. Flyers or the content of a flyer can be posted on the
website, and information can also be placed in the Romona Review. In the rare
event that a paper flyer is needed, you will need to fill out a
Backpack Express Request form approximately 2 weeks before distribution,
which will need to go to your PTA VP contact, who will send it to the principal for approval. Click here for a Backpack Express Request form.
