Here is mine. It has a good sleep practices sign, handwashing sign, emergency phone numbers paper (all are required to be posted), my daily schedule and the weekly menu. My curriculum is supposed to be in the blank spot but i havent put it up yet.

My parents never look at my board so I dont worry about it too much.

I don't have one at all.

If parents want to know something or I want them to know something, we just talk about it or, if important, I put a note in their bag as well as tell them.

My parents always look, sometimes I put our next field trip, what we are doing that Friday or whatever. Plus it had our colour, number, letter, and shape of the week. It also has our school schedule since I transport to three schools on a daily basis so my parents and potential parents see and understand.

I like what you did with the pom poms-

Mine has the month
a calendar
pictures of the kids or families or whatever we are doing
notices
curriculum information
and kids art work on it (this takes up most of it and when I run out of room I use another wall)

to the side of it I have my
license
posters that you must display
fire drill log
food program info
my menu is on my fridge more convenient to me but parents may go and view it.
daily schedule


This is all in the entryway and in one place.
I change my board monthly

I guess it's a popular set up. I am ready to change it up.

Here is my parent board. I keep my license above it and all the other boring paperwork on my fridge. Parents look at mine probably weekly because they check the calendar and curriculum stuff. I also post party and field trip sign ups. I usually change the border/background monthly.

I will see if the picture link works... Mine is a wall organizer from Thirty One. It has pockets for each of the DC kids and a place for my license and the additional papers I need posted. I have a white board poster type calendar there as well. Works for me!

Mine is in Hebrew so it won't help you, but I have put on my wall two strips of carpet (the kind you can velcro things too, leftover from the kid velcro wall). In it I have stuck
Yearly Schedule
Days Off
Menu
Daily Schedule
Rate Structure (I'm official, so parents pay different amounts depending on income).

I sometimes put up other things, depending on the time of year or mood. I also have a white board next to it where I write up any announcements or reminders.
