Which option is NOT listed as a tool for two-way communication and connecting families to one another?

• A. Text messaging
• B. Home visits
• C. Newsletters
• D. Social networking sites

Answer: (A)

Two-way communication with families relies on channels that invite response and dialogue between educators and families. Text messaging supports quick, back-and-forth exchanges and can address questions or concerns promptly. Home visits provide direct, in-person conversations where families and teachers can share information, plans, and feedback. Social networking sites enable ongoing interaction, comments, and sharing resources among families and staff. Newsletters, however, are typically one-way communications that deliver information from the school to families and don’t inherently foster reciprocal dialogue. Because of that, newsletters are the tool not listed as two-way communication.
