It is possible they rarely check their emails.

Also, when the parent comes to the school, I would make time to meet with them and ask if there if is a more preferred contact method than e-mail. If the parent only wants to meet in person, I would set up a conference for a more appropriate time. I would take charge of the situation quickly, so that the everyone is aware and working on handling the situation.

Show the evidence that you sent the emails on specific dates and then just find a solution of the best way to communicate. Maybe send a form home for parents to fill out the best ways to reach them.

If not you can call their work and see if you get lucky. Parents are such an important piece for students to succeed and trying all the possible ways to get a hold of them must be done.

Short of calling home, what else could you have done? I think you should go into that meeting with confidence that you did your job. Work towards a solution for a better form of contact so that this doesn't happen again.

Explain to the parent that they can schedule a meeting time but now is not appropriate.

If they continue to not respond I would also double check that the email is correct. I would then try to get their phone number for the office and attempt to call them instead. If that doesn't work either, send a not home with the student to give to their parent. Keep a record of every form of communication you have tried to use as well as when you used it.

Apologize for the inconvenience and the misunderstanding and reassure the parent that you are looking out for the best interests of the child.

I think evaluating the situation together and explaining that you have been trying to reach out, then coming up with a better way to communicate together is an easy resolution.

I also would have called the parent after the second email went unanswered. Checking that the parent was even receiving the emails is imperative to the student.

Just one or two calls a day just in case they don't answer. It's very possible the parent is not checking their emails regularly or the emails might be going to spam folders and they just don't see them Votes: +0 / -1 This Solution Is Useful   This Solution Is Not Useful   Comments posted for this solution Add a Comment                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.
