At the start of the school year, parents are handing over their most precious people to us every day — and for many, that trust doesn’t come easily. In this episode of Teach Task Box Inspire, Lisa shares practical, positive communication strategies for building strong parent partnerships in the first month of school. Through a personal story about her own special needs son’s first overnight camp — and how a special education teacher’s updates eased her worries — Lisa highlights why early communication is key and how simple, intentional outreach can turn parents into powerful allies.
