Parent/Community Communications

Schools are under increasing pressure to make improvements in the way they communicate information to parents and their community. Beyond adherence to government-imposed guidelines from initiatives such as the No Child Left Behind Act in the United States, schools are beginning to understand the positive impact that can result from forming partnerships with parents as key contributors to the learning process.

• Offer easy access to school information via public Web sites
• Quickly notify stakeholders in case of emergencies, natural disasters, or school closures
• Facilitate parent-teacher interaction outside the classroom
• Provide parental access to student schedules, learning resources, performance and progress
