(PARENT COMMUNICATION) CLASS DOJO (FREE!). Before my district adopted CLEVER, I would use CLASS DOJO to communicate homework and announcements to parents as a whole group. It was also an easy way to communicate to parents individually. It also has fantastic "Growth Mindset" videos I use to start every school year.
