  Case: Disruptions to the Classroom
How do you deal with interruptions from the office, parents, administration, custodians and others while you are trying to teach a lesson?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would prepare activities for students to do such as reading, free-writing, starting homework, etc. when interruptions take away from instruction. You do not want the students waiting on you to finish handling the situation, for this could cause unwanted behaviors. As for parents, it is okay to refrain from engaging with parents during the school day. If there is an emergency, they can contact the front office. If they have a concern about their child's learning, they can contact you before/after school or during your planning period. I would share your hours of availability with parents as well as your preferred means of communication. It is important to keep in mind that some parents are unable to work with your hours and/or preferred means of communication, so you should discuss with them separately about a solution. You could also use online programs that track student progress and behaviors for parents to monitor throughout the day. This would also be a good form of communication, where you can check emails made by parents through the site when logging into the program throughout the day.
