Parent Communication Methods: Parent Update emails, Remind, Talking Points
WELCOME!!!!
Hello to all! My name is Mr. Kelly and I cannot wait to meet and get to know everyone! The School year might look a little different but that just means it poses some fun and interesting challenges we can work through together.
Communications
There are three formats for parents to keep track of what the class is learning. The first format is a group email blast to parents. I send announcements briefly summarizing what was just completed and the learning goals for the upcoming lessons.
The second way is through Canvas. The “Parent Observer Access” feature will allow parents to see a list of assignments and due dates, along with any other information a teacher adds to the Syllabus page, while the rest of the course remains private.
The last way is through the remind app or Talking Points app. I use this to communicate with students and parents and give reminders and clarifications about assignments. Parents can send me a message, similar to an email and I'll promptly respond during normal office hours.
If you are interested in receiving any or all of these communications, please fill out the form below.
