Process improvement for the communication of elementary school homework between teachers and parents

The communication of the homework assigned to elementary school students between teachers and parents is limited given that there are no electronic alternatives originated within the elementary schools in the State of Zacatecas México. Therefore the homework is a generally unknown activity for the parents. For this reason to improve the communication process between teachers and parents we developed a website that allows the teachers at an elementary school to generate homework notices for the parents. With the use of “Notifica a los padres” at the Prof. María Soledad Fernández Bañuelos Elementary School a 9% reduction in the homework failure rate in the last bimonthly period of the school term was achieved. Now the parents can have a better knowledge about the homework and with that they can motivate and help the students to carry out such homework and improve their school performance.
