Parent Involvement

Parent involvement is critical to a child’s education. Students tend to be more involved with his or her own education when parents are involved. Since parents are truly their child’s first and most influential teacher, the school needs to build on this foundation.

Communication

The school encourages open communication between parents and school personnel to strengthen and foster this relationship. In addition to the regularly scheduled parent teacher conferences, parents are encouraged to communicate with their child and teacher(s).

Homework

Parents are encouraged to review student’s homework each night and ensure that the student is well- rested and prepared for school the next day.

Volunteer

The School welcome parents as volunteers for school activities. Parents may contact the parent coordinator for information on volunteering. Parent volunteers must obtain fingerprinting and must be approved by the school’s Executive/Principal before being allowed to participate in the volunteer program.

Parent Teacher Organization

While all parents are expected to be involved in their children’s’ education, some parents may wish to volunteer their time to more structured school parent organizations. Parents may participate in fundraising and other school activities through such organizations. Furthermore, through these organizations, parents may provide formal feedback on school programs. Information about these and other organizations will be provided at the beginning of each school year, or maybe available from the parent coordinator.
