We are so excited to be launching this blog and we are even more excited that people are actually reading it! As a thank you to our followers, we are offering a FREEBIE! Keep reading this post, then click the link at the bottom to grab your freebie.
At the beginning of every year, we send a Parent/Teacher Communication sheet home for families to fill out and send back. (If students participated in kindergarten screening, they fill this sheet out then). The sheet asks for the child’s name, parents’/guardians’ names, a phone number, and email. It also allows parents to choose the best way to reach them whether it’s through emails, notes, phone calls, or text messages.
The Parent/Teacher Communication sheet is a lifesaver for us. It allows us to have any and all contact information at our fingertips all year! Once the sheet is sent back, it is hole-punched and put in a half-inch binder. The binder lives next to our phone and computer all year.
What We Love About This Resource!
- We love that the sheet asks for parents/guardians’ first and last names (this is especially helpful when last names are different from the child’s last name).
- We love that it allows parents to pick a preference for how they want to be contacted (we love it even more when they prefer email or text via Remind!)
- We love that we can collect parent emails and easily add them to our group email list for our Friday emails which serve as our classroom newsletter.
- We can keep a record of any communication by jotting down dates and notes on the back of the sheet.
