Case: Needy Parent
I have a student who's mother wants something ALL of the time. I am friends with this parent outside of school. We attend the same church. She also had my personal phone number prior to her son being in my class. She is constantly sending me texts and calling my phone after school hours while I'm at home spending time with my family. She has questions about her son school related things. How can I tell her to please contact me through my school email, school phone, or through the behavior sheet that is sent home daily? When I get home I do not want to be bothered with school stuff.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have been involved in a similar situation. The parent did not realize it was causing as much stress as it was once I got home with my family. I would send an email to all parents, so that she doesn't feel targeted. In the email I would just say that this is a reminder that I am available via email, school phone, or through the daily behavior sheet. Please contact me during school hours from 8-4 or whatever your school hours may be. We are have a great year so far! Please feel free to contact me! |
