After grading aspects of our ministry at the end of the summer, we found that our communication with parents was a "C" at best, and you'd probably have enough ammo to give us a failing grade if you wished. So, over the past month and half we've put some things in place to help us in this area. Here's what we have:
Video Podcast For Parents:
We're not sure what this will evolve to, but we want a way to be in front of our parents. Parents are so busy that it's difficult to have meetings that they can attend. So, we're going to try and answer questions about our ministries in a quick 10 minute monthly video podcast.
Parent Newsletter:
This is just a another resource to put in our parents hands. This newsletter has basic info and upcoming dates.
Website:
We're trying to keep the website updated weekly. This is probably the greatest resource for our parents, but getting them there is difficult at times.
Text Messaging:
We're in the process of getting a text messaging software so that our students and parents can be reminded of events.
Are there any methods of informing your parents that works well? And if you use any of these methods what is some information that you include in them?
