Case: Parents that are unresponsive
I have a Kindergartner student that I want to retain next year. She is not ready to move to first grade and the parents do not work with her at home either, as I have highly suggested. However, I have sent three emails, two letters home and left a voice mail to set up a parent-teacher conference. I have not heard one response from the parents. What else is left to do? How do I get these parents to care about their child's academic progress?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree with keeping documentation about contacting parents, it will be beneficial to you. I would also talk to your school principal or counselor, I know that there may be times when a home visit has to be arranged in order to get parents to respond. My principal and counselor have gone on many visits not only to get in touch with a parent but also to "check out" what is going on in the home environment. There are many times where we as teachers also take on the role as parents, it sounds like this is one of those cases. |

Comments: I like your idea of making a home visit and think this is the last resort in trying to contact these parents. I think this is very appropriate in this situation. |
