Back to School Resources - Day 3 Parent Communication

Welcome to my BACK TO SCHOOL resource series! Through August 1st, I'll be sharing some of my hottest and newest resources with you for back to school in six different categories! 

Day 3 - Parent Communication

Yesterday I shared many classroom management tools with you, but I have so many more that fall into the "parents" category for today's line up!

I love these newsletters for sharing important information with parents. It's a great visual for parents that they can easily pin to their fridge that is much more user friendly than a list. Easy to edit and easy for parents to read! 

These behavior logs  are perfect for communicating daily behavior with parents and are simple to use. Choose from several templates to meet your needs. 

These instant notes are so great to have on hand! No more trying to type up last minutes notes to send home for parents!

Now you can print on your carnival wristband bracelets with my new template! An easy way to make sure reminders and announcements are seen!

Communicate meetings with your families easily with no stress with these ready-to-go meeting forms.

Add these to your take home folders for an easy reference tool for your students to have at home.

Keep these positive notes on hand for students! Students love getting them and parents love seeing them!

 Stay tuned tomorrow for more than a dozen of reading and writing resources that you'll love!
