Classroom communication is essential for having a learning environment where students and parents are informed and invested. Three communication tools that can work well to keep students up to speed are:
Homepage:
Having homepage that is frequently updated with a "news" section can keep students engaged in what work is due, what events are upcoming and provide additional information to make students successful. It is a great place for posting pictures, too.
Reminders: Remind.com is a great way to quickly remind students of test or assignments that are due. Through this program/ap teachers can send mass emails or mass text messages to the students that have signed up for the reminders. Since most students have a phone, sending informative text messages is a quick way to get info to the stakeholders.
Newsletters: My own daughters bring home informative newsletters each week. They send them out to keep parents in the loop about upcoming events and the current unit of study. It can be sent out electronically or through snail mail.
