The modern school system is undergoing an active digital transformation. The introduction of electronic tools in secondary education opens up a number of opportunities, but in this system, timely communication between parents and teachers and is vital, which affects the effectiveness of e-learning control. This paper aims to analyze the impact of communication between parents and teachers during the process of introducing e-learning elements. The study selected 7 secondary schools that are actively implementing e-learning or elements of e-learning. The sample consists of two groups of participants: teachers (19) and parents (120). The inclusion criteria for teachers were based on their experience in teaching with the use of electronic technologies and their experience with online platforms. Parents were selected on a random basis. The main tool in the study was a questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The results show that the surveyed teachers actively use modern digital technologies to effectively organize e-learning. There is also a noticeable improvement in students' results when using modern electronic tools and learning support. Communication between parents and teachers contributes to the support of the E-learning system. Besides, current teachers use a variety of communication tools, such as emails, websites, or specific mobile applications, to inform parents about curricula, programs, schedules, and other aspects of learning. The findings note that communication improves both tracking of results and facilitates more effective engagement. The final recommendations are to create effective channels of communication between teachers, students and parents to facilitate information exchange and interaction, and to improve the involvement of parents in the innovative educational development through electronic means.
