Email Connections

Cyndi Furr, an English teacher at Palm Desert High School in Palm Desert, California

I help parents connect with their child's school experience by creating an email list of all parents with computer access. I email a newsletter to my parents weekly letting them know what's happening in class. Using email has solved the problem of leaving messages and I have a record of correspondence if I need it. I encourage parents without email to call and leave messages on my voice mail.
