Free Printable Parent Communication Log and Telephone Call Record

About these parent communication logs handouts

Keeping a record of family contact protects everyone. If a parent says they never heard from you, a dated log answers it. The communication log is a landscape table with 17 rows. Each row has a date, the student and family contact, tick boxes for call, email, note or visit, a topic, a result or follow-up, and a done box.

The telephone call record fits two to a page and captures a single call in detail. Tick whether you called or received the call, write the date, time, student, who you spoke with and their phone number, then the reason, what you talked about and agreed, and whether follow-up is needed. It ends with space for your initials.

Use the log as the summary and the call record for the conversations you want to remember. Write down the facts and the next step, and keep the notes neutral and professional, as if the family might read them.

Keep completed pages in a folder that stays in your classroom or office, following your school's privacy rules.

Classroom tips

• Log the good-news calls too, so the page is not all concerns.
• Write the next step before you hang up.
• Staple call records behind the log page.
• Review the log monthly for families you have not contacted.

Notes on this page
