Sample Kindergarten Teacher/Parent Daily Communication Sheet

Hi friends,
     How are you today?  I hope you are well.  I know you must be tired of Covid and looking for new ways to save time and still be the teacher you want to be.  An important part of that is parent/teacher communication. 
     So, how do you keep in touch with parents now?  How often do you let parents know how their child is doing?  When I taught kindergarten, I sent home communication every day as to how each child was doing. 
     Sometimes it was difficult to find the time to send home a communication for each child every day.  Sometimes I would do it during nap time, sometimes during specials, and sometimes I would do it during lunch.  Sometimes it was just when I found a few minutes here or there, I would fill out the form that went home for communication.
     For kindergarten class, often a communication home would consist of a star, smiley face, sad face, or straight-line face.  Sometimes, a student might get an angry face going home as well.  This would quickly tell parents how their child was doing.  There were days, when I was busy and the face or star was the only communication.  Although, when a child received a sad face or angry face, there was always an accompanying explanation. 
     On days when I had a little more time, I liked to include a note of praise, especially during times of success after extreme difficulty.  I also wrote reminders on days before a field trip, inclement weather, or something out of the ordinary. 
     The daily communication was in addition to a monthly newsletter that was sent home.  The monthly newsletter was more general though.  It let parents know the kinds of things that their children would be doing as well as any upcoming events for the month.

     This is a daily communication sheet that I recreated from memory of what I sent home daily with students.  They liked to see how they were doing by looking at the child friendly communication sheet.  The parents enjoyed getting a little idea of how their child was doing each day.  I enjoyed it, because I could tell a parent so much with just a face or quick sentence or two in a note.
     Feel free to download this sample and use it yourself.  I would be happy to hear how you, your students, and your parents like it. 
     The good thing about a form like this, it can be easily transformed so you can add other features for quick communication.  I may do that at some point.  I may create some other daily communication sheets for parent/teacher communication.  What do you think?  If you need a daily communication sheet to fit your needs, please feel free to contact me.  Thank you.
