  • Personal notes versus mass communication to stakeholders (appropriate times): Personal notes of welcome, encouragement, praise can really make a person feel special. Mass communication is a helpful tool but should never take the place of that personal touch of  a teacher taking the time to go that extra mile to support parents and students.


  • Stakeholders- need to all have a voice in decisions and planning at the school.  It is best for all involve to have a place at the table in the decision making process so all sides have voiced their views and concerns.

  • School Policies regarding Communication- school policies should have in place numerous ways to be able to reach out to all stakeholders. This should involve: website, emails, phone calls, conferences, newsletters, Remind 101, parent portals for grades, news releases, social media- twitter, facebook, etc...


  • Tools available for effective Communication should include but not limited to phone calls, notes- paper or text messages, newsletters, class and school newsletters and websites, social media.
