Ask your children's teachers or school administrator to send all correspondence to both parents.
Inform the other parent of any changes in class schedules, extra-curricular activities and school events.
Be aware that there will be situations where you and your former partner will need to both attend school or sports events. Avoid embarrassing your children by remaining polite and cordial. Never blame or criticize the other parent during parent teacher meetings.
Share your children's schoolwork and achievements with the other parent.
Keep adequate school supplies at each parent's home.
Share information with your former partner before parent-teacher conferences.
Calendar any action steps recommended by the teacher and follow up on them.
