Details Matter!


Collegiate’s Copy Style

Collegiate’s Copy Style

For external communication, with parents and/or the public, Collegiate School follows the AP Style guide. To ensure that copy is consistent across School communications, please follow these guidelines in all written materials and correspondence:

Spell out Kindergarten (plural spelled Kindergartners)

Use a.m. not am

Use JK for Junior Kindergarten

Use 3-5 p.m. not 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Use numerals for other grades and upper case “Grade” (e.g., 1st-8th Grade, Grades 9-12)

Do not use serial commas: no comma before “and” in a series (e.g., red, white and blue)

First reference should always be Collegiate School; for second reference and additional references capitalize School (e.g., the School)

Single space (not double) between sentences

Hyphenate drop-off, sign-up, after-school, school-wide when used as adjectives or nouns (e.g., early drop-off)

Spell out day of the week (e.g.,Thursday, not Thurs.)

When a month is used with a specific date, abbreviate the month (e.g., Oct. 8, 2017) — except for March, April, May, June and July, which are never abbreviated

Do not hyphenate kickoff or pickup when used as adjectives or nouns

Do not hyphenate drop off, sign up, pick up and kick off when used as verbs (e.g., to drop off)

When a specific date is not included, always spell out the month (e.g., she was born in October 2001)

Use number only for day of month (e.g., 5, not 5th)

Quotation marks always go outside the punctuation (e.g.,“the School.”)

Use correct pronoun agreement — “their” is not an adequate substitute for “his or her” when the subject is singular

Use email, not e-mail; internet is lower case

Italicize titles (e.g., Red Badge of Courage)

Collegiate’s Logos
