The Challenge
Although for a child, home is the first school, the School environment is equally important. While the school provides a healthy environment that nurtures the talents of the child, parents provide strength and confidence to their children.
To get both to work in unison for the betterment of children is a great achievement.
Schools are becoming adept at communicating effectively with parents, and ensuring that the environment of the school is friendly for the family. Parents can augment this by cooperating. A mutual understanding and a good rapport between the two enhances a sense of community and commitment.
When school personnel and parents communicate, they establish a stronger learning environment for the student.
Schools need to contact parents for many reasons, including when their child is experiencing academic or behavioural difficulties or when they need to convey a change in policy or schedules. Parents on the other hand may also want to be in touch with the school to keep themselves abreast with their child’s performance and behaviour in the class.
Most parents of students are busy professionals who do not have the time to follow up with the school at every juncture.
To keep parents informed in real-time and to keep the lines of communication open and growing steadily, schools need pcom – an innovative new technology that enhances communication and strengthens the school-parent-student relationship.
