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!)
Hello Ashley,
I understand that there is never enough time in the day to complete all that we would like, let alone contact parents too. What has worked for my class is a classroom newsletter. Each week, I send home a newsletter with upcoming events, the main skills students are working on, reminders for forms that need to be turned in, and a shout out section for student of the week and birthday celebrations. By doing this newsletter, my parents are able to know on a week to week basis the important events within the classroom. Another way that I have kept communication open between the parents and myself is by providing them with my cell number. This may or not be an option for you. I teach Pre-K, and know that parents want to know immediately if their is a situation or incident at school. For this reason, I have each parents number saved in my phone, and send text messages if needed during outside play or nap time to keep them informed. |

| Comments: I personally would not this. Maybe one at the beginning of the month but not every single week. That seems like a lot of work and there is no way then for parents to respond. |
