-Create a beginning of the year survey for parents and students.
-Ask parents: How was your child doing in the Spring? How are they doing now? What can I do to best support your child in the fall? Are there any strengths or areas of growth that you would like me to know about?
-Work out how you will communicate with families and students through newsletters, etc. (Padlet, Google Classroom, Google Sites?)
-Think about how you would like to make your students feel like they belong and are welcome.
(Responsive Classroom ideas, Identity work, Birthday Padlet, Choice Boards for Morning Meetings?)
