Three things come to mind...

1) We ask parents to take on roles of 'homeroom parents' to act as liaison between teacher and parents...

2) We host parent coffee sessions where parents can simply be on campus and network...

3) We have a wonderfully unique community choir which involves parents, teachers, and students - see the youtube video below where they joined forces with other schools to sing at the F1 Shanghai event...

My children both go to private schools and both schools had an "open house" format evening whereby students could display their projects

and give mini-presentations on their learning in Social Studies and/or Science. One event was called "Night at the Museum." The admins

also gave welcome speeches and presentations about their curriculum delivery. The projects were great and the kids were so cute… I

look forward to it every year!
