How to Use
Print the family handout on page 2 and send it home in take-home folders, welcome packets, or after family conferences.
Encourage families to choose one question that fits their child’s day, pause for an answer, and follow their child’s lead. The prompts give families specific places to start without turning the conversation into a list of questions to finish.
Keep the handout nearby and revisit it throughout the school year. The family page is unbranded, and there is nothing to complete or return.
