When schools work together with families to support learning, children are inclined to succeed not just in school, but throughout life. 

​

The following are just a few suggestions of the many ways you can be involved with your child's education:

​

• Contact your child's teacher early in the school year and maintain communication throughout the year.

• Ensure that your child's school has your up-to-date contact information.

• Participate in parent/teacher conferences.

• Ask the teacher what your child is learning and how you can support your student at home.

• Talk with your child daily about homework, classroom activities, and events.

• Learn about school policies and expectations so you can help your child

  understand them.

• Model behaviors and attitudes you expect from your child.

• Encourage and nurture your child's creativity.

• Talk with your employer about flex time so you can participate in school

  activities.

• Establish a daily family routine.

• Monitor out of school activities.

• Express high, but realistic expectations for achievement.

• Encourage your child's development/progress in school.

• Be positive when talking with your child about school-related activities.
