Sorry about last week!!!

So last week I forgot the blog post but I was working on doing some of my research for my action project. One way that parents will get involved is when they feel welcomed and I have not always seen that on my campus. Most of the time it is preached to us to contact parents when students are doing well, not just when we are disappointed. However, I don't see the upper levels making the effort to do just that, not even when with their own people.
With that being stated, last week I tried to find some kind of written documentation discussing my campus' or even districts' policy regarding parent communication. I could find none. When I called people, and these people weren't only teachers but also people who are in positions to make policy, and they couldn't even tell me about the districts' policy. Now, I will concede to the fact that I have not made contact with my superintendent and he is very next on my list, but there doesn't seem to be any guiding document for teachers or administrators to follow regarding parent communication beyond informing them of grades and behavior. This is something, along with my action research project, I would like to draw up and have adopted by my campus if not the whole district before the end of the year.
