I find that when the parents are not involved in students education, the students take less of a caring to their own education. Our district has a program called Parent Link where parents can get online or call in to check their students grades at any time. Our school belongs to Oncourse lesson plans online and we are automatically set up with website. Each teacher modifies their website to fit the needs of their class. The nice thing is that when we type in our lesson plans the homework is automatically posted to the calendar for parents to see. I also upload any rubrics or assignments that the students are given for parents to access.

I also send home a newsletter in the beginning of the year with all of my class procedures and policies that the students must get signed. Parents need to be kept in the loop.
