5 Things Coast Academy Does To Encourage Parent-Teacher Relationships
1. Regular Communication
At Coast Academy, we believe in the key of Communication. We have open communication so that the parent can reach out to the school at any time. We also keep them in the know through newsletters, emails, and calls where need be.
2. Parent-Teacher Conference
With regular Parent Teacher Conferences, parents get an opportunity to stay up to date on their child’s progress at school. It is also a great opportunity for both the teacher and parent to lay out any issues or questions they may have.
3. Taking Advantage Of Opportunities to Connect
Frequent class presentations, special performances by students is an excellent opportunity to invite parents to come and watch their children perform. Parents love getting opportunities to drop by their child’s class and relate to what the child does in school. This not only brings parents joy but also makes them feel included in their child’s life at school.
4. Build Confidentiality And Positivity
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, any sensitive information shared between the teacher and parent remains confidential. Putting in a positive correspondence about the child goes a long way.
5. Being Friendly And Professional
A little friendliness goes a long way, in terms of building relationships with parents, it is important to maintain professionalism to avoid overstepping on individual boundaries. At Coast Academy, we respect different cultures and family dynamics.
