ANSWER:
Any and all of the following are effective ways to support families in the school setting: hold orientation meetings at different times to meet different families work schedules; have translators, if necessary; provide (or have others provide) transportation for those who need it; publish a class/school newsletter in the parents home language; provide multilingual communications as needed; encourage parents to ask questions, visit, or call; encourage parents to know what goes on in the classroom; survey parents for issues of interest and need; develop links to health and social service supports; hire teachers who reflect the racial, cultural, and ethnic makeup of the families in the school; hire teachers who are respectful of the social, ethnic, and religious backgrounds of parents; provide in-service training for teachers in working with parents; provide frequent opportunities for parents to air their concerns.
