Fitness Assessment Scenario Six
I can see the parent's point of view. We had a similar situation at Valentine last year. When the district made the new policy about communication hours. It was a positive move because teachers could personalize their communications with parents. At Valentine it was not coordinated enough between grade levels and specialists. Parents ended up having to come several times to speak with reading/math teachers. We also used many different tools to enable our parents to sign up fro communication nights. The feedback was that they enjoyed more flexible communication nights and they wanted to see some events coordinated. Also they wanted a uniform way to sign up for conferences. So, I think we need to embrace new technologies but be mindful in how we use them.

I agree with you, Liz. It might be worth it for teams or even multiple teams to discuss what technology they plan on using so they can coordinate somewhat. It's also a good idea to share these tools with parents at information nights or conferences so they know our expectations for students and can see how they work.
