A1: being in a smaller-ish private school you just get to know families over time, but I let them know abt me and ask for info on their child and family life #dojochat
A2: post photos for every subject every day, give points for classroom participation and hard work, send messages. but mainly i LOVE the ability to share photos #dojochat
A1: I’m a PreK teacher and I always have the parents come and get paperwork. There’s a questionnaire about their child and then I set up a meet and greet to get to know them. #dojochat@ClassDojo
A3: weekly emails like emailing scanned HW home Monday and longer weekly recap on Fridays. always available to email or chat w/ parents at school or from home #dojochat
A3: As much as I love these other tools, the best tool is face-to-face and forming connections with the family. I have monthly parent days where the parents can come in and see all of the things their child is learning. #dojochat
We have monthly "Family Learning" around a topic connected to a Jewish/religious topic. The principals also host parent coffees every week for a specific grade to let parents come in and talk/ask q's - plus other fun events #dojochat
We have monthly parent nights, community events, I have parents and family events for major holidays like this Tuesday for Halloween. #dojochat@ClassDojo
A6: DO - be open and friendly, they're your partner - show you know the child
DON'T - spring anything major on them - if its huge communicate it ASAP don't wait #dojochat
A9: Never be afraid of communicating with parents. They want the best for their child and it’s better to talk about a situation at the beginning then after it has been occurring for a while. #dojochat
