Communication is Key


Teachers,


I have already had some of you stop by to let me know that you are concerned about the progress of certain students, and have contacted their parents accordingly. Let me encourage all of you to be proactive with respect to parent communication. It is much better to let parents know that there is a potential problem than to let things fester to the point of frustration for all involved. Once you have made contact, please remember to document, document, document!!


Additionally, I will be happy to speak with any students who are not applying themselves in your classroom. We have bright kids here, so I'm sure some just need a gentle nudge in the right direction.


Don't forget to let parents know when their children do well. Time invested in positive communication could reap great rewards when problems arise later on.


Keep after it -- you're doing a great job!
