InTouch, an interactive communication tool that provides parents with the ability to view current grades, attendance patterns, and class assignments; 4. Open House; 5. fifth grade parent orientation night activities; 6. Welcome Back Day activities; 7. a computerized autodialer that sends important messages directly to each student's home; 8. the use of InTouch to directly e-mail teachers.
