It's Back To School Time! How can you get parents, guardians and families involved in your Spanish class?  Use these templates to communicate with parents at the beginning of the year!  These digital or printable Google Docs are just waiting for your personal touch and details!  Start the new year with high parent engagement!

The first doc is a letter for families which introduces their child’s new Spanish teacher (you!) and asks parents to tell you about their child. **Parents love to tell you about their kids and being asked let’s them know right away that you care!

The second doc is a similar letter, but tailored for the parents/guardians of AP Spanish students.

The 3rd doc is a request for guest speakers.  Why not let our families know how much their life experience is valued?  Send this letter to find out if there are any family members, friends or colleagues that use Spanish in their lives!  **This document is part of my Spanish Back to School Survival Pack for Middle and High School bundle!!**

The 4th doc is a hand-out to give parents, perhaps at Open House Night?  It lists several ways in which parents can help their child succeed in Spanish class, even if they don’t know Spanish.  It’s a great way to empower parents and to give them actionable strategies to be involved with their child’s learning on a regular basis. 

The last doc is a study guide template.  I send this via email about a week before an important assessment.  It’s a great way to keep families in the loop as we encourage them to be involved in their child’s Spanish education!

All of these documents are almost ready to send out!  You can edit and personalize all of them, and they can be printed out or emailed home.  Start your school year with strong partnerships and high parent involvement!

Who can use this product?

• Teachers of Secondary Spanish (Year 1 through AP Spanish)

How can I use this product?

• Personalize the documents to suit your needs
• Engage families by mailing, handing out at Open House night, emailing or asking students to bring documents home to families

What’s included in this product?

• 1 letter for parents/guardians of Spanish students (not in AP Level)
• 1 letter for parents/guardians of AP Spanish students
• 1 letter to request guest speakers
• 1 handout for parents listing ways they can help their children with Spanish
• 1 study guide template that can be emailed to parents/guardians
