Hello Transparent Classroom Team,

I would like to suggest a feature that would greatly enhance communication between parents and teachers, particularly in our infant classrooms. The idea is to create a section in the parent portal where parents can enter “Drop-Off Notes” for each day.

This feature would allow parents to share important information about their child’s morning, including:

When the child last ate and how much

When the child woke up and the quality of their sleep

Any recent medical updates (e.g., shots, minor illnesses)

Additional context that could help staff provide the best care (e.g., a parent traveling, changes in routine, emotional needs)

Having this information readily available at drop-off would help teachers better understand each child’s needs and ensure continuity of care throughout the day. While this would be helpful for all age groups, it would be especially valuable for infant classrooms, where small details about a child’s routine can significantly impact their comfort and well-being.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. We believe it would enhance parent-teacher communication and improve the overall care experience for children.

Best regards, Leanna
