The Wire is published every Sunday when school is in session and contains relevant information for the week ahead. Submissions are due by noon the preceding Thursday.

The Hindley Wire – Weekly Edition

If you are submitting something for the weekly publication, please send an email to hindleywire@hindleypto.org following the guidelines below.

Submission Guidelines:

  • Please send your submission in the text of your email, single spaced and left adjusted in Arial font size 12 (no formatting), with “Wire Submission” in the subject line to hindleywire@hindleypto.org by Thursday at noon in order to be included in the next Wire.
  • We do not send attachments with the Hindley Wire; however, we can upload attachments to the PTO website and include links to these files in The Wire. All attachments should be submitted in PDF format.
  • Make sure you include a contact name and email address in the text of your submission for questions.
  • All text may be edited. Submission does not guarantee publication.
  • Submissions must be age-appropriate and Darien school and/or community relevant. We will not include advertisements for businesses. Only community events that are for charitable purposes (not-for-profit) or are school related will be considered for inclusion in the Community section of the Wire.
  • To have a submission repeated one time, you need to resend the entire previously printed blurb to us for editing and re-approval. Resubmission, if approved, will only be printed once, so choose your submission time frames accordingly.

If you have information that you would also like to be included on the PTO website, please email hindleywire@hindleypto.org.

A Hindley Wire Blast

Blasts are reserved for information that is extremely important and/or time sensitive. We try to limit the number of Blasts we send as much as possible; email inbox spam filters have gotten more and more sophisticated as the number of spam emails increases. If we send too many emails from Mail Chimp (our email marketing platform) the likelihood that our emails get tagged as “spam” goes up and we’d like to avoid that.

If you do have something that needs to be put out for immediate publication and can not wait until Sunday morning, please email hindleywire@hindleypto.org, and CC the editors and the co-presidents at their personal addresses listed below. The Wire editors only check the hindleywire@hindleypto.org mailbox at the end of each week so it is crucial that you CC these additional addresses as well:
