Home-School Communication

Communication between home and school is crucial.  Please see some suggestions below that would allow for the best communication between school and home:

Some things to think about:

• Good communication is specific, honest, succinct, and courteous.

• Unfortunately, things are not always interpreted the way the writer or speaker intends. How one says something can be more important than what one says.

• People often have different perceptions of the same situation. It is wise to verify information before drawing conclusions.

• Children’s home behavior may or may not be consistent with their school behavior.

• There can be no communication without listening.

• All people need to hear good news and compliments.

• Teachers and parents/guardians are working together for the same results—happy, healthy, educated children.
