Conflict Resolution: Family-School Communication

Parents/caregivers are important partners when it comes to student success at school.  Positive communication between home and school creates a cohesive school community and positively impacts students’ academic performance and attendance (Bergman, 2012). 

Schools and families can work together to promote Social Emotional Learning in the classroom and at home through genuine school-family partnerships. This partnership involves two-way communication between teachers and families and the participation of family members in students’ education both at home and in school (Casel, 2020).
