Helping K-12 districts excel through enhanced online communications and collaboration.

Engage Parents

Create a School-to-Home Connection

Multiple studies have shown that increasing parent engagement is the key to improving academic performance among K-12 students. However, busy parents often have trouble keeping up-to-date with their kids’ class work, sports, and other activities—and even when they want to get involved at school, they don’t know exactly how to do so. And while teachers would love to get parents involved, it’s often difficult for them to do without taking time away from important classroom activities and preparation.

Give Parents a Window Into the School

eChalk transforms parents’ relationships with teachers and administrators by giving them a window into their children’s academic and extracurricular lives—including everything from classroom discussions, assignments, and study guides to sports schedules, field trips, and other upcoming special events. With the visibility provided by eChalk’s Online Learning Environment, parents can ensure their children stay on track with their schoolwork and activities, turning them into valuable allies for teachers in the effort to positively impact student performance. What’s more, teachers are able to save valuable class time by reaching out to parents using eChalk’s secure email system quickly and easily, eliminating “phone tag” and providing a clear record of all communication. Parents can even sign up for email alerts to get especially important information about what's going on at school. By closing the school-to-home gap, eChalk empowers parents and teachers to work together more effectively in order to support learning and instruction and meet ever-rising expectations for students’ academic achievement.
