Parent Involvement

 

The Governing Board recognizes that parents/guardians are their children's first and most influential teachers and that continued parental involvement in the education of children contributes greatly to student achievement and a positive school environment. 

 

In order to engage parents/guardians positively in their children's education, the Superintendent or designee shall ensure that staff members at each school:

 

1.         Initiate consistent and effective two-way communication between the home and school so that parents/guardians may know when and     how to help their children in support of classroom learning activities 

 

2.         Encourage parents/guardians to serve as volunteers in the schools, attend student performances and school meetings, and participate    in site councils, advisory councils and other activities in which they may undertake governance, advisory and advocacy roles
