I begin each year by inviting the parents into the classroom and talking with them about being a team. We discuss how important it is that we work together to help their child be successful. Each year it's a challenge to keep the lines of communication open with our parents. We always offer food and prizes to get them to come to school functions. One tactic that works well is the have the children perform. They parents will always make time to see their son or daughter in a program.
