Each year since getting NBs, I have been working to foster stronger parent-teacher relationships. The fall-out effect has been fabulous on what it does for my kids...each year, each set of parents proves that I am getting better at this.

I think the trick might be... put yourself into their shoes. Look at the school from their viewpoint, look at your student as they look at their child, work to meet their needs.

Thankfully, this year we had an Open House. This made my job that much easier. We went three years without a contract and did not have an Open House... creating the scenario where any communication had to be intiated by either party... and then, it was usually for a reason.

Right now, we are seven weeks into the school year, and I have now contacted over half of my parents... each for a good reason... My goal now is to reach the remaining parents as quickly as possible. Does anyone have any ideas other than simple phone calls?
