Get Involved
Research shows that when parents are actively involved with their children's education, students' grades are higher, their self-esteem is greater, and they are more socially adjusted. In fact, the most accurate indicator of a student's academic success in school is not tied to family income or social status, but the extent to which a family:
- Creates a home environment that encourages learning.
- Sets high but realistic achievement and career expectations.
- Becomes involved in their child's education and in the community.
In addition to attending parent-teacher and other special events, opportunities to get involved at your child's school abound. A few examples include:
-
Tutoring
-
Mentoring
-
Classroom read alouds
-
Classroom assistance
-
Non-classroom assistance (field trips, media center, etc.)
-
Organization involvement (PTA, foundation, School Site Council, etc.)
-
Before-and after-school programs
Please note: To volunteer at the school you must fill out a district volunteer form, available at our office. A recent TB test result is required to complete the volunteer application.
