Additional Actions Parent Contact List – take every opportunity to
collect contact information, so that you can send reminders and updates.
Class Website – this would be a great way to really let parents see what their child is learning at school. It is also a great tool that parents can use while helping their kids with homework. Kids can use this to pull their parents into the classroom at home by showing off projects that are posted.
Know your community – be able to provide parents with a list of community resources or direct them to a person or agency that can help them.

Educators, parents and the community can accomplish great things when we all work together.
“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results”-Andrew Carnegie
