• The school newsletter is one of the methods used by Echo Mountain Schools to share information about MYD and, also, to give parents ideas about how to follow-up at home.

• Parent Report Card (A Self-Assessment Tool For Parents) based on the report card from the Citizen's Committee for Parental and Community Involvement developed by Larkspur Elementary School.  This is a very quick survey that includes a rating scale.  Questions about Make Your Day are simply imbedded with other questions that provide parents with information about how to best support their child.
