Communication between teachers/students/parents is very important. I want everyone to feel comfortable talking to me and keeping me up to date on new things in their lives that may impact their success in my classroom. I will always return calls, but I cannot guarantee a response on the same day; therefore, email is usually the best way to reach me. It's easier to respond to an email mid-day than it is a phone call and after school hours, email is one of the only ways to reach me.
I also use Remind - an app that allows me to text my students without ever sharing numbers. I create a class and then the students simply text the signup message to the number. Then they are "added" and I can push notifications and reminders (ex. "Don't forget to study for your test tomorrow" or "Please bring your textbooks to class"). Students can also send me texts if they are having trouble with an assignment or have questions. Parents can join, too, but be prepared for many texts about what to bring to class!
