Parent+Communication


 * It is important to communicate with parents about their child's progress, but it also important ** **to document when you talk to a parent on the phone, email, send a note home etc. **


 * The resources below can help make that easier (new teachers especially, check this out)! **

The **Parent Communication Log** can be kept in a notebook by the phone, (maybe even have one for each child) so that you document every time you had to call a parent and why you called. Also, you can use this form to document when you sent an email to the parent and why, when you have a conference and what was discussed, sent a note home, etc.  Link to Really Good Stuff Website - Carbon Copy Notepad http://www.reallygoodstuff.com/carbonless-notes-small/p/101622/
 * It is important at the beginning of the year to have a sheet where parents can let you know how they prefer you to communicate with them, so that we make sure they receive the important information about their child.
 * I also recommend purchasing the carbon copy


 * Free PDF of Parent Communication Log that I found on Teacher Pay Teacher **

**There is an APP called REMIND101/REMIND** that allows you to one-way text parents with information.
