Abs trac t The issue of the corona virus disease (Covid-19) has an impact on many aspects of life in Indonesia, one of which is in the field of education. Based on the circular of the Ministry of Education and Culture number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Education in the Emergency Period of Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19), one of which calls for all school learning activities to be carried out through networks or online at their respective homes. This learning is mostly done through the whatsapp application communication media. This study aims to analyze the communication skills between teachers and students of the Nurul Hidayah Private Elementary School and 12 Medan Denai Elementary School in the context of learning. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. The data techniques used were observation and observation. The informants are teachers, students and parents of students who act as companions for their children in learning courage. The analysis technique uses an interactive model proposed by Miles, Hubberman and Saldana where there are 4 stages of the first way of using data, second is data sorting, third is data presentation, and fourth is data retrieval. The results showed that whatsapp was a very helpful medium of communication because it was easy and cheap. Although some parents still lack internet quota purchases and some don't have smartphones, in total other parents think WhatsApp is the right medium. Then, the communication that exists between teachers and students is still not effective. There are many complaints from parents who are confused in accompanying their children to study, even the parents' admission that the learning process in accompanying their children can cause stress due to difficulties in communicating with children. The learning system provided by the teacher is deemed ineffective because in the end it is parents and their children who communicate in learning. Meanwhile, the teacher only acts as a facilitator in providing material in the form of documents for self-study and assignments. The rest, how to do the assignment until collecting it back is the job of the parents.
