communicating-with-families

Write to a child's parents, or to every family in the class. Use when a teacher needs to tell one family something about their child — progress, a concern, a behaviour incident, good news worth sending — or to send the whole class a newsletter, a unit overview, a trip letter, or a reminder. Works out what happened, what it means, and what happens next before drafting, delivers hard news plainly rather than burying it, and never singles a child out in a message going to everyone.
