Parent communication is key to a healthy parent-teacher relationship. However, parents can also feel overwhelmed with the abundance of communication. Using online tools such as parent portals and a cloud-based communications platform can help parents receive and respond to essential communications and develop a positive relationship with your school.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><a id=\"Why\"><\/a>Why parent communication is essential<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, many parents work full-time, and not all parents have the opportunity to become involved in the day-to-day life of the school. Even parents who are active volunteers may only volunteer in one classroom or in a specific area of the school.

Ongoing parent communication builds trust and warmth between parents and teachers, and positive parent-teacher relationships also lead to academic gains for students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective parent communication strategies also allow you to ask questions to parents instead of making assumptions. Through effective communication, parents and teachers become a team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, according to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waldenu.edu\/online-bachelors-programs\/bs-in-elementary-education\/resource\/nine-ways-to-improve-parent-teacher-communication\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Walden University,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cone size does not fit all when it comes to parent-teacher communication, in elementary school and otherwise.\u201d Cloud-based communications platforms allow you to offer many avenues of communication to parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52367\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/parent-student.jpeg\" alt=\"A mother leans over her daughter's shoulder in front of a laptop to help with education\" width=\"930\" height=\"620\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b><a id=\"Provide\"><\/a>Provide multiple avenues for communication<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different families have different ways of communicating. Some families like written notices, while others follow the school on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing many different avenues for communication helps families connect with the school. Use a form at the beginning of the year to learn more about your students and their parents and to ask them how they would like to communicate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Social media<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media is an excellent way to celebrate what is going on in your school and in individual classrooms. Develop a school or classroom Instagram account or blog that documents some of the activities that students have enjoyed at school. Providing visuals will help younger students explain the activities to their parents, and it will also support parent communication with families for whom English is not their first language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A social media account can highlight many of the positive activities taking place in the classroom. You can use a blog to provide a preview of school and classroom events and projects that are coming up in the next few weeks. That way, parents and students can stay on top of deadlines and enjoy thinking about upcoming field trips and projects together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Apps for real-time communication<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not all parents can be present in the classroom, some communications apps allow students to share learning with their parents in real time. They might share a snippet of a project presentation, or you can share a highlight of the day\u2019s math lesson. This reminds parents to talk with their children about what they learned in class that day, and parents become part of their child\u2019s day even when they are not physically present at the school.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Texts can improve students\u2019 school results<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple, straightforward communication is often very effective. Surprisingly, even a weekly text to parents can help them become more aware of and involved in their children\u2019s school lives. A <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.columbia.edu\/~psb2101\/ParentRCT.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Columbia University study <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">showed that sending texts to parents about their children\u2019s assignments and absences led to a 38 percent drop in course failures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Digital signage is quick and easy communication<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drive-through communication is possible. Communicate with parents as they drop off or pick up their students from school. Digital signage within and outside your school is an avenue for communication with students, parents, and teachers. Digital signs give you the opportunity to highlight school calendars, security, and school spirit events for parents and students alike as they pass by before, during, and after school.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Parent portals provide ease of access<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As opposed to parent communications that are sent out to the family, a parent portal allows parents to interact with their child\u2019s education whenever they please. Parent portals give parents access to their child\u2019s schedule, attendance records, and grades. For parents making plans or advocating for more support for their child, a parent portal provides the information that they need to track how their child is doing in school. A parent portal also allows older students to track their completed coursework and GPA so that they know what gaps they need to fill before they apply for post-secondary courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta rc-post-content-cta_orange\">\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta-columns\">\n<div
