Schools face many obstacles when working to engage with students\u2019 families, from language barriers to information overload.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many things in life, consistent communication can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three communication tips for how your school administrative staff can engage with families and support student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 1: Establish a Regular Cadence for Classroom Updates and Announcements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As educators, our job isn\u2019t just to support our students. We also need to support their families as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most school families want to know what is happening in their child\u2019s classroom. There may simply be too many other things on their plate to memorize the school calendar or understand the exact resources available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up a regularly scheduled classroom update can give caregivers the information they need more efficiently. By providing information on assignments, due dates, and resources available for students who are struggling, educators are showing families that students\u2019 success is of paramount importance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1522\" class=\"wp-image-2961\" style=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"An administrator creating an announcement for the district\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-1536x913.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-2048x1217.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-90x53.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-2000x1189.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-1600x951.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-1400x832.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-1200x713.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-1000x594.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-900x535.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-800x476.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-700x416.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-600x357.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-500x297.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-400x238.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-200x119.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/int-1-Beyond-the-Classroom_-3-Tips-for-Principals-and-Staff-to-Enhance-Family-Connections-100x59.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 2: Opt for 2-Way Communication<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>School communication works best when school staff can meet families where they are. And for some families, that may look like a direct, open dialogue between the educator and the caregiver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two-way communication can be particularly helpful for families who may need guidance on the best ways to support their student, or if a student is treading into \u201cat-risk\u201d territory.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

it helps to come to the conversation prepared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most schools have some kind of student information system (SIS) that collects data about attendance, test scores, and other helpful information.&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1795\" class=\"wp-image-2962\" style=\"\"
