Something the parent/guardian can tell the teacher about the enrolling student that they feel is important . The teacher can follow up with how the student is doing....progress etc. jpeyra https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/244815104 2018-03-22 01:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/244815104 Administration can make a home visit with the teacher welcoming them to our school jpeyra https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/244815842 2018-03-22 02:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/244815842 A monthly invitation to eat with admin. and their child during breakfast or lunch. jpeyra https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/244816301 2018-03-22 02:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/244816301 Like Ms P said - we could have a monthly breakfast/tea/coffee chat with new parents. We could get information on community resources.

Dr Z has quite a bit of information to share regarding community resources. Dr. Z could help us put together a packet with either campus or district resources. We can give the packet to parents as they enroll their kiddos. user_1412622267 https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/245142378 2018-03-22 17:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/245142378 hlopez21 https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/249476012 Teacher's can have "parent packets" pre-made with helpful information about the classroom, school and community.

This creates a relationship early on and can learn more about the school and their child's specific classroom experience. https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/265491233 2018-06-04 20:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/265491233 Offer parents water as they are enrolling... jmerri4 https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/265491266 2018-06-04 20:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/265491266 Water idea khurlb https://padlet.com/jmerri4/cy2vbbk4d6np/wish/265491479 Offer parents enrolling a bottle water and/or snacks.
