SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA.— Preparing school-home communications for the new school year takes time, teamwork, and a plan for success. To help district and school administrators prepare for a successful year with engaged families, ParentSquare, the award-winning unified school-home engagement platform for K-12 education, has launched its free version 2024 Back-to-School Communication Checklist for Home and School.
The checklist breaks down back-to-school tasks into clear, actionable areas that superintendents, public information officers, technology directors, principals, and their teams can address before the end of summer. It is available as an editable worksheet and a shareable PDF.
The 2024 Back-to-School Communication Checklist includes:
● A comprehensive plan that guides administrators through each stage of setting up communications for the new school year, from evaluating last year’s strategies to coordinating launch efforts.
● Detailed best practices for school-home communications, developed from more than a decade of supporting tens of thousands of schools and districts as they return to school.
● Access to ParentSquare tools and detailed guides for district communication, including resources to address common barriers and a self-assessment that generates a customized report for the school.
“Each year, districts and schools face new challenges and opportunities, and they need new tools to help them start the year strong,” said Anupama Vaid, president and founder of ParentSquare. “With this checklist of actions and resources, all decision-makers managing school communications now have a tool they can immediately reference to help them assess, organize, and strategize. With a solid plan in place, institutions can quickly begin back-to-school operations.”
