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

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. Perhaps you've noticed that a child seems sick, or constantly tired. Perhaps a shy student seems to be withdrawing more every day. You need to tell parents. But, if you have already contacted them on a positive note, chances are they'll be more responsive now to problems. Always let them know you share the problem.
