Using Technology to Improve School-Parent Communication: Best Practices

Effective parent-school communication is essential to a student's success in the modern educational environment. Schools are using a variety of tools and platforms that have been made available by technology to facilitate communication and encourage parent-teacher collaboration. The best ways to enhance communication between schools and parents are examined in this article, which also emphasizes the importance of technological solutions like parent apps and school ERP systems in accomplishing this objective.

Importance of School-Parent Communication

Effective communication between schools and parents is essential for several reasons:

Academic Progress: Regular communication allows parents to stay informed about their child's academic progress, including grades, attendance, and behavior.

Engagement: Engaged parents are more likely to participate in their child's education, attend school events, and support learning at home.

Support: Communication provides an avenue for parents to seek support from teachers and administrators regarding their child's academic or behavioral challenges.

Partnership: Building a strong partnership between schools and parents creates a collaborative environment focused on the success of each student.

Best Practices for School-Parent Communication

Clear Channels of Communication: Establish clear channels for communication, including email, phone, messaging apps, and face-to-face meetings, to accommodate parents' preferences.

Timely Updates: Provide timely updates on important events, school policies, and student progress to keep parents informed and engaged.

Personalized Communication: Tailor communication to individual students and families, addressing their specific needs and concerns.

Two-Way Communication: Encourage two-way communication by soliciting feedback from parents, responding promptly to inquiries, and involving them in decision-making processes.

Transparency: Maintain transparency regarding academic expectations, grading criteria, and disciplinary procedures to build trust with parents.

Role of Technology Solutions

School ERP Systems: School ERP systems centralize administrative tasks such as attendance tracking, grade management, and communication. These systems provide a comprehensive platform for managing school operations and facilitating communication between teachers, parents, and administrators.

Parent Apps: Parent apps offer a convenient way for parents to access school-related information, receive updates, communicate with teachers, and track their child's academic progress. These apps often integrate with school ERP systems, providing real-time access to important data and notifications.

I've been saying this for years but I've finally found the funniest way to say it, in the MCU Tony Stark isn't so much Peter Parker's father figure as he is his deadbeat dad figure. Like Tony shows up once a year to take Peter to a baseball game kinda vibe. Tony in homecoming is like hey kid I know I haven't seen or spoken to you in months but I bought you something and that's basically the same as emotional support. Tony taking Peter to Germany in civil war is like when your deadbeat dad tells your mom you're having father-son time but he's really just taking you to his guys' poker night and trying to get you to cheat for him. When Tony says you're nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it, it's like when your dad says if you're not going to follow my rules in my house you can leave, I put a roof over our heads what else could you possibly want from me. Tony mourning Peter after infinity war and calling him his kid is like when your dad only wants to hang out with you after he's lost custody. Like well and truly deadbeat behavior no wonder the fanon is like that

jegulus dads ‘i frew up 🧍’ microfic— 1313 words; sorry guys i was brain rotting too hard about this one (cw: mentions of throwing up)

in all his 27 years, regulus has never been a deep sleeper. so when the door to the bedroom creaks open at 3 in the morning, his eyes open with it. the room is still pitch black, and he wonders groggily if boots (their cat) pawed it open when a tiny, weak voice whimpers, “daddy?”

regulus is launching up in bed and turning towards the voice of his five year old son before thinking twice.

“what, baby? what is it?”

at his sudden movement, james shoots up in bed next to him. “—whatisit. haz?” he mumbles, flicking on a lamp and dousing the room in light.

there stands harry in his spiderman jams, hair an absolute bird’s nest and tears streaming from his big green eyes and down his sweet cheeks. regulus’ eyes water instinctively just looking at him. before having kids, regulus never knew what it was to empathize so automatically with someone else— but he felt harry’s emotions right along with him, the joy, the sorrow, and the pain too.

“i—“ harry starts, then sucks in a big stuttering breath, clearly trying to be a brave boy and not cry, “i-i threw u-up.”

at the admission he wails, like he’s just confessed to the most abhorrent sin and will now have to face the wrath of his two loving fathers, who are so light on punishments they sometimes worry harry will end up being the most spoiled brat alive. james and regulus share a quick look, what regulus would consider the “dad” look, before throwing back the covers and rising quickly.

surprisingly, they’ve planned for this. years ago. when they first started dating. james had asked regulus about this very scenario, and after minutes of regulus whining about never wanting children in the first place—so why does it even matter, james— he’d made his position clear.

“i don’t do vomit.” regulus told him firmly. “absolutely not.”

james had laughed. “fine by me. if you only knew how much of my friends vomit i’ve had to clean up over the years. i don’t even blink at it anymore.”

thus the responsibilities of this hypothetical situation were assigned. james was on vomit duty. regulus was on comfort duty.

“not sure i’ll be any good at that either,” regulus had said grudgingly, but james had just smiled knowingly, able to see a future that regulus couldn’t yet imagine.

james makes it to harry first and scoops him up promptly, letting him bury his face in his neck and sob. regulus comes up behind them and snuggles up to harry, kissing his small head and whispering reassurances.

“shhhh don’t cry, it’s okay, haz. does your tummy hurt?” james asks calmly, rocking them all back and forth soothingly.

regulus pulls back and watches harry nod. his cheek is rosy and hot when regulus puts his hand to it.

“come on, baby, let’s go take care of it okay?” regulus tells him, and james deposits their still-sniffling son into his husbands open arms.

“you know what time it is?” james asks, wiggling his brows. harry just sniffs and shakes his head. “time to be superdad,” james tells him, pointing at his faded superman t-shirt. then he gives an animated salute, puts one fist on his hip and the other high in the sky before jetting out of the room with some impressive ‘flying sounds’ that manage to make harry smile a little before he remembers that he’s actually very upset right now. regulus shakes his head at his wonderfully ridiculous spouse and starts towards the stairs, feeling harry’s hot tears gather in the crook of his neck.

after giving harry some medicine, they settle on the couch downstairs, harry in regulus lap and clinging to him. regulus rocks them for a few minutes, letting harry’s breaths slow as he calms down.

“papa?” harry sniffles suddenly, his voice so small.

“yes, sweetheart?” regulus asks, pressing a kiss to his forehead.

“we need to have a funeral. like how we did for bobbi.”

regulus blinks. bobbi, harry’s goldfish, had died three days after james brought him home, leaving the two of them to explain the complicated matter of death to their three and a half year old. so harry had a vague idea of the concept and of funerals, though his only exposure has been the meager ceremony they’d patched together and held in their garden. sirius had given a speech and peter had cried.

“what? why?” regulus demands, scanning his son’s face. his bottom lip pokes out as his eyes fill with tears yet again.

“b-because i think i killed hippo,” he wails. “i-i threw up all over him— a-and ron said that throw up is like— like how supervillains spit out the acid and k-kill the good guys—“

regulus closes his eyes briefly, exhaling in relief. he makes a mental note to tell james to cool it on the superhero movies for a while— clearly it’s getting into harry’s head.

“no baby, hippo is fine. he just needs to go for a swim in the wash, and then he’ll come out as good as new.”

harry peels his head back from regulus’ chest, blinking up at home hopefully. “really?”

“really. i bet daddy has already put him in. shall we go check on him just to be sure?”

“yes, please,” harry says, politely. oddly, it makes regulus think of his mother, of how she had demanded her boys to be polite above all else, even in the face of abuse and neglect. james and regulus had done absolutely everything differently, and harry still turned out to be the sweetest boy on the planet. walburga can fucking suck it.

pushing aside the thoughts of his mother, regulus rises with harry still perched on his hip. they walk back upstairs, peeking their heads into the laundry room to find james, metaphorical sleeves rolled up as he hums to himself, rummaging through their linens. regulus truly married the only person in the world who can sing while cleaning up vomit at 3 in the morning.

james turns and smiles at them in the doorway. “my boys!” he says cheerfully, crossing the room to give harry a smooch on the head.

“he’s worried about hippo, darling,” regulus explains. “can you show him how he’s just gone for a dip in the wash?”

“who, hippo?” james asks. “oh he’s great. you know what he told me haz?” he leans forward as if confiding a secret, “he told me he’s been wanting a bubble bath for sooo long and he’s sooo happy he finally got the chance. he even said to tell you thank you!”

harry giggles. “no he didn’t. he doesn’t talk.”

james gasps. “well he certainly talks to me, harry. we’re the best of friends.”

“i thought papa was your best friend,” harry says and james’ face melts into the gentlest smile.

“that’s true, too. it’s a tie between hippo and papa.”

regulus rolls his eyes as harry laughs. they go over and stand in front of the washer. the top is clear, so harry can see all his stuffies (including hippo) swirl around in the sudsy water. after several moments of watching them spin, james nudges regulus, inclining his head towards harry.

regulus looks down to see their baby’s eyes closed, head heavy, cheek squished against his chest.

“his bed has fresh sheets,” james whispers but regulus isn’t quite ready to let him go. he looks up at james with a pleading face.

james, try as he might, has never excelled at being the hardass parent. so when regulus takes their son back into their bedroom, depositing him under the covers between the two of them, james just smiles and shakes his head. they climb into bed and turn towards harry, two parenthesis enclosing the small shape of their son, cradling him and keeping him safe.

regulus sleeps long and deep, one hand laced with his husband’s, the other resting on his son’s dark head.

What were the major factors for you in deciding whether to have kids?

Unwillingness to forego one of the most intense and unique human relationships possible: "The key to the sociobiology of mammals is milk. Because young animals depend on their mothers during a substantial part of their early development, the mother-offspring group is the universal nuclear unit of mammalian societies."

When I was younger, my major objection to having kids was that it would interfere with my career. I cared a lot about my career and looked forward to transitioning from a student who worked really hard and excelled in classes to a professional who worked really hard and excelled in the workplace and also earned a boatload of money. But then it turned out that I wasn't a hard worker, I just loved studying and taking exams. I don't have a career or the relationship to a career I envisioned, so that's the major obstacle removed.

Seven years ago, I went to a meetup hosted by an economist who liked historical reenactments. His three adult children were in SCA garb, served the guests food from a medieval Persian cookbook, and sat around arguing with him (and the rest of us) about economics. It was my first encounter with a family where the children shared interests with their parents and talked like peers. It fundamentally changed my mind on what families could look like.

Similar story: I visited my friend's family two years ago, and stayed in his teen daughter's room because there had been an in-house auction to determine whose room would go to the guest. She won and was monetarily compensated for it. In addition to having another example of a Relatable Family Where The Members Actually Like Each Other, I found my friend and his spouse's financial philosophy appealing and will be compensated for pregnancy and childcare by my spouse. 20% of my objection to having kids was objection to the financial arrangements of traditional marriage (which imo fucked over both of my parents when their relationship broke down... but more so my mom), so it shifted me on the kids issue to see & adopt a financial arrangement that to me feels more autonomy-preserving, egalitarian, and respectful of my labor and opportunity costs.

I knew I didn't want to be pregnant, didn't particularly like infants, didn't want to interact with toddlers for more than an hour (I like them but get very fatigued and have to go lie face down to recharge), which seemed like a good argument to not have kids. But I also simulated being 70 and childless and it felt distinctly bad. Among other reasons I noticed for the first time that I want a connection to the coming generations, which was startling.

It was hard not to notice that the giant would make an excellent dad, and also that we have complementary skill sets and preferences qua parents.

I read "Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids" after I'd already decided to have kids, but when I was discussing the decision with friends, multiple of them brought the book up. Its basic argument is that we (I suppose I mean Americans and East Asians here) invest in our children well past the point where it matters, which increases the quality of life difference between parents and nonparents, which sucks because lots of people would enjoy raising kids if the unnecessary expectations were dropped. Once I actually read the book I found it suspect (I stopped reading when Caplan described a study and then drew an inference that didn't logically follow), but the conclusion seems true based on observation and common sense. My own parents and I had a lot of conflict over piano lessons because proficiency in an instrument was expected in their milieu. My mom regularly fought me to make me eat breakfast (to this day I don't eat in the morning, my body just isn't made for that) even though it would have been fine to send me off to school with a banana to tide me over until lunch. People trade away health and career points to breastfeed even though the evidence is shaky that it matters. My sister is pursuing a zero screen policy with her child and said this choice significantly increases work and emotional toll. Once I noticed I was the type to be an overworked neurotic parent and that I'd priced my own terrible personality in when simulating how hard childrearing would be, I also noticed I could (with effort) not be that person and have an easier time. So my expectations of parenting changed.

Daily reminder that most of the sect members follow their sect leaders because they were born to that sect, or that sect was stable and powerful enough to provide them with security, and the Wen Remnants followed Wei Wuxian even though they were afraid of him because that was their only option, but the YMJ members that followed Jiang Cheng ever since the Sunshot Campaign freely CHOSE to do so. He was 17. And an extremely traumatized seventeen-year-old at that. He was simultaneously looking for his brother and participating in a war while rebuilding his sect. Lotus Pier was destroyed. There were only 3 people left of the YMJ sect (2 as far as they knew with WWX missing.) The sect was brought to ruins. The YMJ sect couldn't have had much riches left. But the new sect (and they were enough for YMJ to be called a sect again) CHOSE to follow Jiang Cheng.

Exploring the Preschool Theater and Drama Programs in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, the city of Nizams and rich in cultural heritage, is a hub of artistic expression. This cultural diversity is not just limited to adults; it also thrives in the preschools of Hyderabad. If you're looking for "preschools in Hyderabad" or "preschools near me in Hyderabad," you'll find that many of them offer drama and theater programs for young children. 

In this article, we'll delve into the vibrant world of Hyderabad's preschool drama and theater programs and discuss how they contribute to a holistic early education. Additionally, we'll touch upon the role of technology, including the school parent app, in enhancing the theater experience for both children and parents.

The Magic of Preschool Drama

Preschool drama and theater programs in Hyderabad are not just about putting on a show; they are invaluable for various aspects of a child's development:

1. Creative Expression

Drama and theater provide a creative outlet for children to express themselves. Whether they're acting out a character, singing a song, or dancing on stage, these activities encourage imagination and self-expression, allowing children to explore their artistic side.

2. Confidence Building

Participating in performances helps children develop self-confidence. They learn to speak and perform in front of an audience, fostering a sense of self-assuredness that extends beyond the stage. This newfound confidence can be a valuable asset in various areas of life.

3. Communication Skills

Drama and theater programs improve communication skills. Children learn to articulate their thoughts clearly, enunciate words, and express emotions effectively, skills that are vital in their everyday lives. These skills lay a strong foundation for effective communication.

4. Teamwork and Collaboration

Theater productions involve teamwork and collaboration. Children work together to create a cohesive performance, teaching them important lessons about cooperation and shared goals. These collaborative experiences contribute to their social and interpersonal development.

Exploring Hyderabad's Preschool Drama and Theater Programs

Hyderabad's preschools offer a diverse range of drama and theater programs tailored to the age and abilities of young children:

1. Storytelling and Puppetry

Preschools often incorporate storytelling and puppetry into their drama programs. These activities engage children in narrating stories, manipulating puppets, and bringing characters to life, enhancing their storytelling abilities. Puppetry, in particular, adds an element of creativity and fun to the learning experience.

2. Musical Productions

Many preschools stage musical productions where children get the chance to sing, dance, and act. These musicals are not just entertaining; they also develop rhythm, coordination, and vocal skills. Exploring music and performance enhances children's appreciation for the arts.

3. Role-Playing and Character Building

Through role-playing activities, children step into the shoes of different characters, fostering empathy and an understanding of diverse perspectives. These experiences are valuable life lessons, teaching children about empathy, tolerance, and the importance of embracing diversity.

4. Cultural and Historical Plays

Preschools in Hyderabad often celebrate the city's rich culture and history through theatrical productions. Children participate in plays that teach them about their heritage and instill pride in their roots. These cultural experiences connect children to their community and history.

Role of Technology: School Parent Apps

Technology, including school parent apps, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the theater experience for both children and parents:

1. Event Notifications

Parent apps notify parents about upcoming drama and theater events at the preschool. This ensures that parents are well-informed and can attend their child's performances, strengthening the parent-school partnership. It also adds an element of excitement and anticipation for children, knowing that their parents will be in the audience.

2. Performance Updates

Parents can receive updates on their child's progress in drama and theater programs through the app. This includes insights into the skills they're developing, their participation in plays, and any upcoming auditions or rehearsals. These updates keep parents engaged in their child's artistic journey and provide opportunities for meaningful conversations about their interests and experiences.

3. Multimedia Content

Some parent apps offer multimedia content, including photos and videos of the performances. Parents can relive their child's theatrical moments and share these memories with friends and family. This not only preserves cherished memories but also encourages children by showcasing their achievements.

Selecting the Right Preschool Drama Program in Hyderabad

When choosing a preschool drama and theater program in Hyderabad, consider the following factors:

1. Age-Appropriate Curriculum

Ensure that the drama program is age-appropriate and aligns with your child's developmental stage. Preschools in India should design activities that are engaging and suitable for young learners. A well-structured curriculum ensures that children are introduced to drama in a way that nurtures their growth.

2. Qualified Instructors

Check if the program is led by qualified drama instructors who understand child development and can create a supportive and inclusive environment. Experienced instructors can guide children through their theatrical journey, helping them develop their skills and confidence.

3. Facilities and Resources

Inquire about the facilities and resources available for drama and theater programs. A well-equipped drama room or stage can enhance the learning experience, providing children with a safe and creative space to explore their talents.

4. Parent Involvement

Find out if the preschool encourages parent involvement in drama and theater activities. Some preschools invite parents to workshops or events, fostering a sense of community and allowing parents to actively participate in their child's artistic pursuits.

Conclusion: Nurturing Young Talent

Hyderabad's preschool drama and theater programs offer young children an enriching experience that goes beyond the spotlight. They cultivate creativity, confidence, communication skills, and teamwork, all while celebrating the city's vibrant culture and heritage. Technology, in the form of school parent apps, enhances the theater experience for parents by keeping them informed and engaged in their child's dramatic journey.

When selecting a preschool drama program in Hyderabad, prioritize institutions that offer age-appropriate curricula, qualified instructors, and opportunities for parent involvement. Through drama and theater, young learners in Hyderabad not only discover their artistic potential but also embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-expression that will benefit them throughout their lives. As they take the stage, they also take a step towards becoming well-rounded individuals who are confident, expressive, and culturally aware.
