 - Teachers can send newsletters, create blogs, make phone calls and send report cards
 - Parents can attend parent/teacher conferences to make sure that parents, teachers and students are all on the same page
 - Parents can volunteer in the classroom or building
 - Parents can help the teacher by letting them know about things happening at home
 - Teachers and parents can work as a team to provide the best for students
