One of the most important requirements in your PMES portfolio is Objective 12:
Communicated promptly and clearly the learners’ needs, progress, and achievement to key stakeholders, including parents/guardians.
But many teachers ask:
👉 “What MOV should I submit?”
👉 “How do I prove communication with parents?”
The answer:
✅ A well-documented Communication Log
In this post, we’re sharing a FREE Editable Communication Log Template that you can use as your MOV—and yes, it’s already PMES-ready.
📌 What Is a Communication Log?
A Communication Log is a structured record of your interactions with:
- Parents/Guardians
- Co-teachers
- Stakeholders
It documents:
- Learners’ needs
- Academic progress

- Agreements and follow-ups
🎯 Why This Is Important for PMES Objective 12
According to the PMES tool, teachers must:
✔ Communicate clearly and promptly
✔ Show evidence across multiple quarters
