Do's and Don'ts? Best ways to communicate? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think to start good communication with parents it is important to have meetings after school with them. During these meetings you can get to know them, they can get to know you, and you can collectively talk about the student and his or her academic needs/goals/progress. It is important to always stay in touch with all parents, even if it is just a once a month check in.
