GUIDE TO COMMUNICATING PARENTS IN THE NEW NORMAL

1. Be warm.
A little friendliness goes a long way,
especially when it comes to elementary
school parent-teacher communication.
Whether you’re communicating via
email, text, or in person, be warm, be
welcoming, and offer encouragement.
When you see parents in person, smile,
shake hands, and make eye contact.

2. Be positive.
Effective communication between parents and teachers starts with positivity.
When contacting a student’s parent or guardian, start out by saying something
positive about him or her. Like friendliness, a little positivity goes a long way.

3. Foster a sense of trust.

The basis of effective communication with parents also starts with trust. It’s
essential for parents to trust their child’s teacher. When speaking to parents,
assure them that everything you discuss is confidential and that as an elementary
school teacher, you always have your students’ best interests at heart.

4. Acknowledge involvement.

• Parents are not required to participate in their child’s education.

Whether it’s a parent or guardian taking the time out of his or her day to
meet with you or participating in school events, it’s important for
elementary school teachers to acknowledge contributions and express
thanks.

5. Communicate often.
Also make sure to communicate
often! A common mistake amongst
elementary school teachers, as well
as secondary educators, is simply
not communicating enough, or only
reaching out when there’s a
problem. Communicate regularly
with parents and they won’t be on
high alert when they hear from you!

8. …and in forms that work for parents and
guardians.
• One size does not fit all when it comes to parent-teacher
communication, in High School and otherwise. From apps,
message boards, and email to social media, texting, and
phone calls, find out what communication tools work best for
parents and guardians, then stick with it.
