dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this study was to determine how a teacher-created web page effected parent communication. This study was conducted over a period of four weeks. Ten families chose to participate in the study. A review of the literature was conducted prior to implementation of the study. The literature indicated that increased parent involvement in schools could have a positive effect on student achievement. The review of the literature also discussed specific barriers to effective parent involvement, and suggested ways to overcome these barriers. This qualitative study included interviews, questionnaires, and a pre- and postsurvey. Additionally, the researcher maintained a log that provided a record of any observations made. Findings suggest that teacher-created web pages do have a positive effect on parent communication in schools. Participants indicated that the most important aspect of the web page was the classroom calendar because it kept parents informed of upcoming class events. The results of the study were communicated to the learning community through a meeting with the school administrator. This meeting supported continuation of the school's efforts to increase effective parent involvement.	en_US
