How many of us have great intentions when it comes to placing on our "To-Do" list making a positive call, email, text, etc. to one of our students' parents to communicate with them something great their child has achieved. While we have great intentions, all too often, it "slips to the back burner" and doesn't happen as often as it should. Use this resource to make sure this happens, and use it as a tool to make sure that within a given amount of time most all of your students have received that magic "bellsouth" call expressing something that everyone can be proud of... we know that many times the not-so-positive phone call, email, text, etc is received so much better and more positive when a positive piece of news has been shared as well along the way. Use this log to keep track of your communication as well as a tool to utilize at parent conferences-- great tool to begin the year with not to mention how much students will love your efforts!
