Email - Email is usually the most convenient way to communicate. If you have a quick question or just something simple to let the student or teacher know, then email is a great way to do that. Also, email is usually very readily available for most people these days. Most people have access to their email on their phone or tablets, which are usually close by.
Phone Calls - Phone calls may seem may seem silly to some people, but email does not convey tone. Sometimes emails are taken the complete wrong way because the reader infers something from the email that was not intended. It is hard to go wrong with a phone call. The only downside to a phone call is that there is no documentation of what is said on the phone call.
Newsletter - A newsletter is a simple way to communicate upcoming due dates and important items. I recently discovered the Smore website that lets you easily create newsletters to share with your students. The site is very easy to use and is free! Here is a link to the simple newsletter that I created for an Analytic Geometry class. NEWSLETTER
