SHOW YOUR CHILD THAT YOU CARE Have a conversation with your child about school and homework regularly. Ask specific questions that inform you about your child’s day. Know what classes your child is taking, who your child’s friends are, and other essential information. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE SCHOOL Get to know your child’s teachers, principal, counselors and school’s parent involvement coordinator. Make it a point to stay in contact with them throughout the school year. EXPRESS HIGH EDUCATIONAL EXPECTATIONS Encourage your child to take challenging courses and monitor your child’s academic performance (homework, grades, and test scores) throughout the year. Emphasize effort and achievement. ATTEND SCHOOL MEETINGS, FUNCTIONS, AND EVENTS Make time to attend parent-teacher conferences, parent fairs, curriculum nights, award ceremonies and other school events. Your attendance and support matters to your child.

PLAY A ROLE IN YOUR CHILD’S SUCCESS IN SCHOOL. Get the facts…get connected…GET INVOLVED! Schools understand that parents are busy people, but there are many different ways you can get involved in your child’s education. No matter how little or how much time you have, there are many ways you can positively impact your child’s education at school and at home. Remember, when parents get involved and stay involved, all students achieve at higher levels.
