Problem Statement

There is unsatisfactory communication between teachers and parents. Oftentimes, important information does not flow efficiently and reliably between teachers and parents.

Parents complain that they are not aware of all their child’s assignments or of the activities in which their child participates.Teachers complain that they have a difficulty getting items like permission slips back from parents. Parents have a hard time reaching teachers and teachers are sometimes overwhelmed by overly-involved parents.
