Our families are encouraged to have daily attendance and homework completion, take the time to talk with and listen to their children, become acquainted with teachers, administrators and other school staff, read to and with their children and share a good book with an older sibling, volunteer in school when possible, and participate in the school decision-making process.
We involve families by:
> working together to make decisions— PTO/SAC meetings, School Improvement Plan, Child Study meetings and parent conferences
> communicating regularly—newsletters, flyers, brochures, school calendars and teacher notes
> providing information on student achievement—report cards and interim reports, parent conferences, test result
> offering parent resources—materials are available in the media center or from the guidance department on a variety of parenting and educational topics.
