School-to-Home Collaboration Tool Makes Education a Team Effort for Wisconsin District

With ParentCONNECTxp, we have moved into a new era of electronic communication and collaboration between teachers and parents. By carefully planning our implementation in three stages, we eliminated teachers' and administrators' anxieties about providing parents with instant access to more information than they previously had. And by providing parents with access to detailed information about their children's academic progress, we raised the level of discourse between teachers and parents to improve student learning. The power of ParentCONNECTxp as a school-to-home collaboration tool has brought parents, students, teachers and administrators together, and reinforced the conviction that education is really a team effort.
