To communicate effectively with parents in my classroom, I will use a school website. I don't yet have access to my districts website, but as soon as I do that will be the first thing I do. I want to incorporate parent communication, student learning and links to outside sources that could help parents with various aspects of schooling.
The parents I will be working with may be new to schooling. This could be their oldest child who will be attending school for the first time. If it isn't their first child, this may be the first time their child is away for 7.5 hours a day. It may be an overwhelming time in the parent's life. I want to be able to make the transition as easy as possible for the parents and students.
Another technology piece I would like to incorporate this year is the Remind App. This is an app parents can get on their phones that allows them to communicate with me and I to them via text message. This can be very beneficial in so many ways. It would allow me to send a short simple message to my families and offer impromptu communication with parents who may not be able to receive the newsletters.
