05. Keep parents informed with a monthly newsletter
Let a template do the work for you. A newsletter is easy to design, put together, and update month by month. Send it to parents in an email or print it out and send it home with students. Regular personal communication with parents is important, but if you want to keep them informed not only on their child’s progress but on class projects and school-wide activities, you’ll want to curate that information into a resource that looks official and reflects pride in the quality of education offered by you and your fellow teachers. Include school policy updates, class project descriptions, profiles of teachers and students, important dates, upcoming events, and anything else you might find important. In your paper version, invite parents to respond to stories with a comments section they can tear off, place in an envelope, and send back to the school. In the digital version, invite them to respond via email or link to the contact section of your school website.
