Parent & Family Engagement
HOW CAN PARENTS HELP?
AT HOME:
- Be certain that your child, if well, attends school each day.
- Talk to your child about school. Encourage your child’s success and effort.
- Follow the teachers’ suggestions for helping your child at home.
- Read with your child or encourage your child to read every night. Ten minutes can make an important difference.
- Be certain that your child gets enough sleep each night.
- Take your child to the library.
- Read and discuss the parent-school compact your child brings home. Sign and return it to school.
- Provide a “homework” space for your child
AT SCHOOL:
- Visit your child’s school and meet your child’s teachers.
- Discuss your child’s progress with the teachers.
- Volunteer to help in your child’s school.
- Participate in Title I family activities and workshops to learn about academics.
- Complete parent surveys which evaluate the program and suggest improvements.
- Attend Title I parent meetings to assist the staff in designing, implementing, and evaluating the program.
