Family Communication Plan

Student academic achievement and parent involvement are strongly correlated. As a result, a family communication plan is essential to effectively interact with the student's family in order to ensure their success. Students spend about 80% of their day in school therefore parents need to be explicitly aware of how their children are progressing. The following are strategies that I believe facilitate parent teacher communication:

Parents could:

Access Teacher's personal web site to retrieve:

Lesson plans

Daily assignments

Assessment, and Project dates

Teacher e-mail

Links to other helpful web sites

Contact the school to arrange a meeting with the teacher.

Contact the Teacher through voice mail to arrange a meeting

Teacher should:

Regularly correspond with parents to discuss student's progress through

Written correspondence

Telephone

E-mail

Requesting a teacher parent conference

Periodically, contact the student's guidance counselor to update them on the student progress.
