  Case: Parent - Teacher Conferences.
Hi!

Growing up, students only had one mandatory parent teacher conference a year and all other times parents were called in were for behavior issues. In my classroom I want strong school-family connections and want to have conferences. Most of my parents only want to hear if their child is misbehaving so scheduling multiple conferences a year is tricky. How do I get parents more involved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it is also very important to have strong teacher-parent relations. I think the best and simplest route to do this is to have them updated on class content through a email blast. Every week I would send an email to all the parents stating what the class is going over and assignment due dates for the week. This will allow parents to have an insight to what their kids need to be doing and the content that it is based on.
