Welcome To My Classroom Blog Website

School - Home Communication

Communication between home and school is so very important to the success of your child. I count it a privilege to work with your child and appreciate you taking the time to visit our class blog. The purpose of this blog is to provide 24/7 access to information that will keep you up-to-date in the happenings of our classroom and provide you will information that will be helpful to you as a parent. It is a connection between you, your children, and me. As a parent I have always appreciated teachers who communicated well with parents. It seemed to help make the school year smoother but it also helped me feel that I was part of what was going on with my child at school.

Home Page Announcements

Here are Some Helpful Suggestions Regarding Communication:

Notes to the Teacher:
There are times when a quick handwritten note regarding student dismissal or a note to let me know your child didn’t sleep well due to allergies etc. is more convenient than an email communication. I greet each student as they come into the classroom each morning. Please make sure your child hands me any personal communication to me as they come into class. This way I can make sure attention is given to your communication. There are times when a student will leave a note from you in their book bag and forget to give it to me. For this reason I encourage you that if your note is in relation to a change in how they are to go home then I would ask that you also call the office towards the end of the day and the office will also make sure your directions are delivered to me.

Email:
If you have quick communication to me that really doesn't require a response you can use my email. Examples might be a change in pick up or a note to let me know you child came to school but isn't feeling well. Try to email these as early in the day as possible. I will respond to those emails with "Thank you for the information." If you don't get a response and it had something to do with end of day dismissal then please make sure you call the school office and they will make sure I get your message. My email is robert.harris@bedford.k12.mi.us

Phone Call:
If you have information you want to give to me but it would be too much to convey in an email then by all means give me a call and leave me a message with a number where I can reach you. If it is something that I think would be better handled with a conference then I will let you know when I return your call. My voice mail phone number is 734-850-9999.

Conference Request:
As a parent myself, I realize that there are some things that come up during the year that would be better handled with a meeting. Normally after school is good for me but please check with me the day before so I can let you know if I have a conflict the day you want to get together. If you cannot stop by after school because of your work schedule then leave me a voice mail with the time you get off work and I can arrange to stay as late as I need after school. I will give you a call back and we can set something up. My voice mail phone number is 734-850-9999.

Many communication items will hopefully be addressed in this classroom blog but certainly the other forms of communication mentioned above have their place as well.
