Parent/Family Engagement

Every child can succeed in school and in life. Every parent, family member, and caregiver can help. Showing our children that we both value education and use it in our daily lives provides them with powerful models and contributes greatly to their success in school.

As your child’s first and most important teacher, it’s important to build strong connections with your child’s school and learning. We want to partner with you. When parents and families are involved, children can achieve more and develop positive feelings about going to school. Together, we can help our students to succeed!

Please see the shared resources that provide some helpful tips and activities to support your child’s learning at home. When learning takes place at both school and home, it strengthens children’s curiosity, motivation, knowledge, and critical thinking. Thank you for partnering with us!
