Strengthening the School to Home Parent Connection (Grades K - 12) MB-S18219
The Chalkable Portal, the MBS App, ClassLink, texting, social media, and more; parents are often confused as to how these technologies work and reach out to teachers for help.With just a few key resources in hand and brief discussions or notifications to parents at the beginning of the school year, we can strengthen the school to home parent connection!
