Lincoln Hall has hosted 3 grade level parent coffees this year.  Although they were not as well attended as we had hoped, there were many useful ideas generated through the discussions with the parents.

Here are some of the topics that were raised which we are exploring as a school.

Communication:  As you know, we are relying more on the Internet and technology as the primary mode of communicating with families.  Here are just some of the questions we are wrestling with this year during this transition.  How has technology and the Internet helped us be more effective communicators with families?  Are there false assumptions we make because we have put the information “on the web”.  How many families are accessing our Website?  Are there other “traditional” communication practices that are more effective with parents?  How can we communicate effectively what events are scheduled for our students and what conflicts exist for students?
