Parent Involvement

Parent Involvement

As a parent you can support your child and assist them in many ways on their educational journey! We are a team and I am here to assist you in any way I possibly can.

* Parental involvement can be beneficial to the academic and behavioral progress of your child.

* Your encouragement can affect your child's attitude towards school and motivation. Please stay positive!

* Ask questions, circle homework problems that were difficult for the child so I can keep track and write a note if needed on the homework. I will work with your child to clarify any areas needed.

Ways to help your child

* Check your child's agenda every night and initial it once the work is finished

* Use the agenda to write notes and communicate with the teacher

* Even if it is not an assignment you can read each night with your child to help them find their passion for reading and to improve their fluency and comprehension

* Check with the PTO to see if volunteer opportunities work with your schedule

* Watch the school calendar for meetings that you may be able to attend

Communication

* Two-way communication is important. It is a team effort between the parent and the teacher to find what is best for your child.

* One-way communication can occur with news letters or updates to the teacher website for each month.

* Communication can happen via note, phone call, or a scheduled meeting/conference

* Communication logs may be useful to share daily progress for specific students. These logs can be used by both the teacher and parent to share news throughout the week.
