At the heart of Mallory Perry’s kindergarten classroom at IRE is a strong commitment to communication, aligning with Meridian School District’s core value of proactive, consistent and clear two-way communication that is accessible for all.
Every day, Mrs. Perry makes it a priority to connect with at least one family. Whether it’s sharing a quick photo of a classroom activity, celebrating a child’s success, or sending a thoughtful message when a student is absent, she ensures parents are always in the loop.
“Communication is important because we can honor the family as the child’s first teacher,” says Mrs. Perry. These small gestures, whether it’s a quick message about a child’s progress or a photo of a fun classroom activity, make a big difference.
Using tools like ParentSquare, Mrs. Perry bridges language barriers and keeps communication open and positive. “I love seeing the positive impact it has on both the students and their families,” she says. Parents have also expressed their gratitude, saying they love seeing their children happy and engaged in their learning environment.
Mrs. Perry’s commitment to building strong family partnerships and nurturing a supportive learning environment through effective communication enhances student success!
