Example: Make at least one positive parent contact each school day––this can be through a phone call, email, text, or note home. |
Example: On my parent contact log, I will put a heart next to each positive contact that I make. |
Example: I have noticed that each time I contact a parent they expect for it to be a negative comment. Additionally, I want to work on building a partnership with parents––which must include positive and negative contact. |
