Teachers Recommend These Ways to Get Involved

It’s a known fact that children are more successful in school when their families get involved.

Research shows that family engagement helps in important ways. Involved families:

1. Encourage positive work habits and behavior at school.
2. Communicate with and help teachers.
3. Advocate for school improvements.

Here are some specific ways you can help:

• Set firm standards for behavior, read to your child and limit recreational screen time.
• Offer teachers information about your child’s interests, strengths and weaknesses.
• Give attention to communications from the school, and respond in a timely way.
• Stay in touch with teachers, through parent conferences and informal discussions, in person or online.
• Join the school's parent-teacher group.
• Be aware of school education policies and opportunities to participate in its development.

When you team up with the school, you improve your child’s chances of academic success.
