To be Effective, Communication: Must be open.
All parties need to be informed.
This involves listening, sharing, and discussing
WITH THE COMMON GOAL OF DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR EACH CHILD, PREDICATED ON TRUST.
CommunicationFrom the homes to the school...- Your child’s homeroom teacher- Your child’s other teachers- The school nurse- The school guidance counselor- The school principal
The main take-away: IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR CONCERN, DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK!
CommunicationFrom the school to your homes…Various Forms: Report cards, conferences, E-mail, texts, phone calls, web sites, Honeywell, newsletters, social media
Correspondence to keep you up-to-date on school events and your child’s progress.
