Empower teachers to connect and engage parents
Blackboard Connect for Teachers™ service makes it easy for K-12 teachers to communicate with one—or one hundred—parents in minutes. Teachers are often responsible for developing and fostering strong relationships between the school and parents.

Keeping parents informed about their child’s academic progress and behavior in the classroom – not just once a semester, but every day – means that parents have more opportunity to have a meaningful impact on their child’s performance at school.
With Blackboard Connect for Teachers, instructors can:
- Quickly notify parents about changes related to their child's performance or behavior
