Re: Team Communication Solutions
1. You should definitely communicate with parents. Get a parent email list, and email the parents as well as students. This will help students stay informed, and it will encourage parents to participate in your program.

2. Our team uses a variety of communication techniques. Our main form is by email (parents and students). We also have a facebook and twitter account.

3. We have a few parent meetings throughout the year, a couple at the school and a couple at Chrysler (which is where our shop is located - THANK YOU CHRYSLER! We love our shop!)

4. We also rely heavily on students informing other students during the school day.

5. This said, communication is not our strong suit and we are always looking at way to improve this. A better emailing list would help. As would updating our website regularly.
