Introduction

A short practical guide to help schools review parent communication, spot what’s not working, and make high-impact improvements without adding workload. 

Why this matters 

Schools are communicating more than ever but parents still say they feel: 

  • Unsure where to find key information 
  • Overwhelmed by messages 
  • Unclear on what matters for their child 
  • Anxious about missing deadlines or events 

When communication is fragmented or inconsistent, families lose confidence and staff spend time answering repeat questions. 

This playbook helps you fix that quickly.
