How schools can use custom magnets

Different school programs and departments can use magnets to support communication, promote activities, and keep important information visible.

1. Keep families informed all year

School calendar magnets and informational magnets give families a convenient reference for holidays, early dismissals, testing dates, camp sessions, pickup procedures, phone numbers, and upcoming events.

Because magnets can remain visible on a refrigerator or another compatible magnetic surface, families can refer to the information without searching through emails, backpacks, or paper notices.

2. Support fundraising programs

Booster clubs, PTAs, athletic departments, and student organizations can sell custom school magnets as fundraising merchandise.

Magnets featuring a school logo, mascot, team schedule, or commemorative design can also promote the organization throughout the community.

3. Share safety information

Informational magnets can display emergency contacts, pickup procedures, transportation phone numbers, health-office details, and other safety information for families and staff.

Magnetic lockdown door strips are designed for use with compatible doors that are already locked. The strip temporarily covers the latch so the door can open and close without the latch engaging. When the strip is removed and the door is closed, the latch can engage.

Before ordering or using lockdown door strips, confirm compatibility with the door hardware and obtain approval from the appropriate school safety personnel. Follow applicable building, fire-safety, accessibility, and district requirements and ensure compliance with all local safety regulations and manufacturer installation guidelines.

4. Build school and team spirit

School car magnets allow parents, teachers, staff, students, and alumni to display school pride throughout the community. Designs can feature school logos, mascots, team names, or graduation years.

Custom shapes and colorful designs can also be distributed as welcome gifts, registration incentives, student rewards, or family giveaways.
