( 24 ?

eL It ( 91 in ( MA I Communication Log and Documentation Form This is a form I developed to help me document and keep track of interactions I had with my students parents . The top part of the form leaves room for contact information for whichever adults are in the child life ( since it may not be mom and dad . I try to call all parents the first week of school to introduce myself . I use information from the registration card given to me by the school , and then once I on the phone with the parent , I confirm everything and copy it onto my own form along with personal notes in the margins ( do not call dad before , grandma does answer the phone but listens to voicemail , etc . I always write in pencil because the info changes all the time ! The Made chart serves as documentation of the attempts I made to contact parents as well as the actual conversations . I had lots of experiences where students home phones are disconnected , parents do answer the phone or return messages , so this format allows me to document my efforts toward communication even when I not successful . This log was invaluable when I was subpoenaed for custody cases , explaining to RTI committees why parents had not yet signed paper work , etc . The log is also really useful if you have highly involved parents , as it will help you keep track of their requests and questions .

Instructions for creating a Parent communication Log I kept the layout of the form very simple to save on printer ink when creating a class set of these forms . You need a binder and copies of the form , plus binder tabs if you like . Here how to do it ) Print the next two pages of this . Make sided photocopies so that the pages are copied back to back . You will need one copy for each student in your class , plus a few extras for new students . Make extra copies of the second page ( the one with just the log , not the parent contact info at the top ) in case you the main page is not enough space to record all the contact with a particular family throughout the school year . I like to copy these extra pages back to back in order to save paper . Hole punch and put them in a binder . You can separate each child section with dividers if you like . I assigned each student in my class a number so it made sense for me to use numbered tabs to separate the sections in my binder . An example is below .
