Keeping Parents Informed
Connect with parents through positive communication, and they will reinforce your behavioral and academic goals.

Content: Let parents in on the good news. Good-news notes allow you to recognize and reward the efforts of individual students. For example: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jones,
I thought you would be pleased to know how well Amanda is progressing in reading. Her work improves every day, and her cheerful attitude brightens the whole classroom. Sincerely,
Mrs. Howard
Two words of caution: Keep track of the good-news notes you send out so every student occasionally receives one (Some teachers routinely write several a week.) And never distribute the notes en masse. They are not special if everyone gets one. Unfortunately, not all your personal notes will be good news.
