  Case: Parent-Teacher Communication
Our new administrator is requiring that we call parents about every event and everything going on with school. I feel as though I have too many students and too much work to sit down call every parent about every single thing. Any ideas on ways that I can communicate with every parent without having to call them for everything?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I use remind.com to communicate with parents. I have them sign up at the beginning of school- giving me either their phone number or email address- and it provides a quick way for me to send messages and communicate with parents. I can send a group message if there are multiple parents I need to talk to about the same issue (a student not turning in homework for example). If I just need to talk to one, I click on their name and send a message. It's quick and easy and I would highly recommend it.

Comments: This solution is also a very good way to stay in contact with parents. Almost everyone has access to the internet and it would make communication easier on both ends too.

Comments: Tools like remind.com are a great way to get parents information that they might not be able to get otherwise. Some parents might not have a smart device for tools like dojo.

Comments: Communicate by means of technology; Collect contact information at the beginning from students and parents. Send a mass email in just one click or utilize apps like 'Class Dojo' to connect, create, and bring the school community together. Parents and teachers can work together in a child's learning and keep lines of communication open without causing too much of a time constraint for the teacher.
