It is just plain rude for the teacher and principal not to write back to you!

This works best for me. My preferred communication method is email, but some teachers hate that. I had one teacher who was happy with drop in after school visits, and another who preferred notes in my son's agenda. I just do what works for each teacher. This year they both like email so I'm pretty happy smile
