How does one convey all the information that is needed to parents? Do you use a website, emails, phone calls, letters home, texting, home visits, or a combination? How do you keep track of the communication going back and forth? These are the questions that have been posed time and again in my graduate classes. I have researched and found a lot of talk on the importance of parent communication but very few examples of it.
I am planning on using a combination of things. I have currently set up a classroom website as a primary means of communication to parents. In the future I am hoping to create some postcards that I can quickly fill in as well.

Parent communication is so important!! I think classroom websites are great! Even Facebook pages just for the classroom are becoming popular.

I'm still trying to figure out a good way to do this. I spend a lot of time updating a class site with pics, even did my portfolio digitally there last year, but I didn't get very many parents who would actually use it. *sigh* Going to try the Remind 101 this year too.
