What Parents Want to Read

Most schools are required to send home a “student handbook” that includes a list of rules and regulations. Unfortunately many parents do not take time to even open it.
To address this, consider picking out a few key sections or updates and make them stand out.
Simply create and place a sticker on the front cover that directs families to the important information they need to read to ensure important information is not overlooked. You may want to highlight critical updates or changes from the previous year. These might include new policies, changes in procedures, or important dates.
Additionally, consider incorporating visuals like infographics or charts to present key information in a more digestible format. A visual summary of the handbook’s most important points can be included alongside the sticker, making it easier for parents to understand and retain the information.
Don’t forget regular reminders too! Send periodic reminders throughout the year to highlight specific sections of the handbook that are important for upcoming events or deadlines. This can be done through newsletters, emails, or school messaging apps to keep the information fresh and top-of-mind.
Taking simple steps like these can improve your communication with parents and increase the likelihood they will read and utilize the student handbook which ultimately supports a more effective partnership between parents and schools.
