Earn Parent Support To Help Meet Student Needs

 In Parent Communication, Tips for Teachers

Communication is key when working with students and their parents. Parents know that their child’s education lies in your hands. Teachers must help to remove the anxiety from parents and a great way to do this is to introduce yourself. This sounds simple, but it can go a long way and result in parent support.

Acknowledge

Hello Ms. Greene, I am Mr. Wynne and I am going to be Deron’s teacher this year. I want this year to be the best school year that he has ever had.

Introduce

Ms. Greene I want you to know that I am a certified teacher with 15 years of experience in banking. Teaching is my second career. It has always been my dream to teach and I intend to work with all of my students so that we can all be successful. I am excited to begin this year.

Duration

Together we can help and support Deron to learn this year. This week, he will bring home our classroom procedures that we will follow so that every student has the opportunity to learn.

Explanation

At the end of the first 30 days of school, I am going to send a survey to you. This survey will give you a chance to provide feedback to me about how you think Deron is doing.

Thank You

Thank you, Ms. Greene, for being a part of our school. I look forward to working with you and Deron this year. If you have any questions, you can contact me at 432-7051. Is this phone number the best way to contact you?

Have a great day, Ms. Greene.
