PROVEN TIPS AND TRICKS TO GET 100% PARENTS ONBOARD

If you have the parents’ email addresses or mobile numbers before back to school night,

  1. Send e-mail or SMS invitations before back-to-school night from your class directory.

  2. Check on the status of the invitations before back-to-school night.

  3. “Sent” or “Delivered” → The message has been successfully sent (for mobile numbers) or delivered (for email address) to the parent but the parent hasn’t read it yet.

  4. “Read” → The message has been successfully sent to the parent’s email address or mobile number, and the parent has read the message.

  5. “Bad Contact” → Nothing was sent to the parents. This should serve as an alert for you that you need to check if the contact is correct or if there’s a typo error.

  6. Print flyers for parents who haven't joined yet from your class directory and distribute.

  7. Each flyer has an individual code per family, so it is important that you give families the right flyers
