1. Use Registration Time to Build a Foundation
   Begin the school year by meeting some of parents during registration, before school begins. Since first impressions are lasting impressions, the teachers make sure that the classroom is warm and welcoming.  In addition to the paperwork and fees related to registering, parents receive their child’s schedule and visit their classes. This is chance for the teacher to meet the parents and get email addresses and phone numbers.
2.  Create Detailed Student Information Sheets
   on the first day of class, teacher send home student information sheets that ask for basic information: name of students and parents, address, numbers for home, work place, email addresses if applicable. A copy of the student’s schedule is on the front of this form also, so if teacher ever need to locate that student during the school day, he can immediately see where he or she is and whom he need to contact.
   
   
3. Send Out Parent Surveys

Two to three weeks after school starts, teacher should send a parent survey home. The survey asks questions about their child interest, strengths and weaknesses. This information helps teachers get to know each student as a person and learner. It's also useful when planning lessons. Even though parents are just as busy as teachers, they eagerly take the time to write as much information about their child as they can.

4.  Contact Them with Good News Regularly
   Make praise calls or emails regularly to the parents. Parents like to hear good news from the teacher.
5. Plan a Writing Night
   Besides the common methods of communicating with parents, teacher should write a letter to parents each semester and share curriculum and result related information and give parents a peek into classroom. 
6. Utilize Technology Whenever Possible
   Parents and teachers both are extremely busy, so teacher needs to use technology to stay in touch (emails, homework hotline, and our parent portal that allows them to access student grades via a computer). Of course, not all parents have access to technology, so the teacher needs to provide the same information in different written formats to those parents. 
7. Intervene via Parent Conferences
   arrange conferencing activities in school and invite parents because it's good way that the teachers communicate with parents. When planning conferences, school should try to be as flexible as possible since some parents can only meet in the mornings or after school.
