I am a big proponent of communication: Student, Parent, School.
The best way to communicate with me is through email. Anyone can send me an email. Adding Price Student or Price Parent in the subject line ensures that it doesn't go to spam.
I send email newsletters about every 5 weeks letting you know what is going on in class and anything else that seems relevant.
I also send hard copy progress reports home to let everyone know how students are doing in class. These have to be signed by parent/guardians so I know everyone is informed.
