Day 13: What helpful advice have you heard about dealing with parents?

I have heard these two over and over and over again:  Early and Often

Here are some other techniques that I use:

1.  Classroom newsletters for each unit.
2.  Wiki and Facebook class page
3.  All issues are communicated before Parent/Teacher Conferences - no surprises!
4.  As a parent, would I want to know about (the situation) regarding my child?

Again, I'd love to hear your suggestions!!
