Parental Involvement
It is important, regardless of the age of your child, to stay involved! When you’re involved, you send the message that your child is valued and that his/her activities are worthy of your time. It also helps to keep the avenues of communication open and builds lasting bonds.
- Parent partnerships are crucial to a high quality educational program.
- There should be an open door policy where parents are welcome to visit at anytime.
- Parents should be encouraged to be involved and participate in the program.
- There should be a respectful environment for all cultures.
- Ask what type of communications parents can expect to receive? Here are a few possibilities:
Tracking sheets
Newsletters
Parent Conferences
- Are there events that involve the family?
- Is the school involved in any community service projects?
Make sure the programs you child is involved in value the importance of creating a partnership with parents. Whether it is at school with the teachers, or with the coaches on a sport team, or group leaders in other activities, working together creates the best environment for your child.
