Why Start All Over Each Communication?



My post Friday night went beyond stressing the importance of regular, documented parent contact.  It suggested a way for a staff to use those conversations in a more organized, collaborative way.

If each time an educator in your school communicated with a parent they completed this simple web-based form, then clicked "submit," all staff members working with that student could benefit from the conversation.  Each future conversation could then build on prior conversations.  Communication with parents would be more efficient, better informed, and more likely to address the needs of the whole child.

With EdClick's tool, it really is easy to submit a call record.  Here is an example of the web-form:





Of course, much of the information (such as phone numbers, addresses, etc.) is auto entered into the form above when a student name is clicked from a list of your students.  This contact info can then be verified and updated each contact with a parent---directly through this web-form, by the contacting staff member---thereby providing all personnel with access to the latest contact info for future communication attempts.

The part of the form that is not auto-entered is easy because it is just a few customizable pull-downs and check-boxes, with a couple of text boxes for elaboration/specifics.

This is merely a glimpse of a more powerful tool
that can improve your school! 

Request an online demo---from your computer---to see it work!

This is a step in continuous school improvement!
