Early Release Focus: Building Strong Parent Relationships
This early release will be dedicated to continuing to build strong parent relationships. We started the school year off with making phone calls to every parent to welcome them to the school year. I know since that time you have made many parent contacts, however this early release has a sole focus on using creative methods to contact or reach out to your parents. I have provide some examples below to get you started, but feel free to use your creativity to reach out to your parents:
- Design a class post card that can be mailed to all of your parents. Tell them how much you enjoy teaching their child and how much you are looking forward to the rest of the year. You might include a box that you can check off if you are requesting a parent conference
- If you have concerns with a child's academic performance contact the parent to request a face to face conference, face-time conference or phone conference
- Update your webpage with cool pictures from the year, upcoming assignments and units of study. Send an email to all parents to let them know to check out the webpage
- Send out a special electronic newsletter using www.smore.com. You can include video, pictures and all sorts of cool things. Touch base with me an I can help you with smore
- Make phone calls to all your parents and for those you do not speak with personally, follow up by sending an email
- Make sure grade-speed is up to date; parent depend on this as a means of communication.
