  10. parents need information to help them understand the system written for them and not in edu-talk #ptchat
  11. Parents should feel welcomed right away. Friendly smiles at the door, guidance to and from areas. #ptchat
  12. A1: Parents need different things depending on the community, dont you think? Our prts wanted a little fridge to save their lunch! #ptchat
  13. Some schools have a door buzzer outside-make that friendly to ur Ps too! Can be a stressor esp if #ESL & do not understand what 2 do #ptchat
  14. A1: They also wanted things like cutting boards in our resource center to support the projects they were doing for their teachers. #ptchat
