Communication Tips

There are many levels of parental involvement. However, effective communication with your child's teacher is the most basic and probably most important way to make a difference in your child's success in school. Here are a few tips for encouraging good dialogue with your child's teacher:

• Take the opportunity to attend events held at the School, even if your child is doing great in school. This is a good chance to get a glimpse of your child's world and that alone is important to your child.
• Attend school events ~ if your child sees you treating school as an interesting place to be, he/she is more likely to feel that way also.
• Call the teacher when you have a pressing concern, or when it isn't so pressing, write a note. Teachers appreciate feedback.
