Research indicates that the most accurate indicator of a student's academic success in school isn't 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.
- Is involved in the child's education and in the community.
You can be involved with your child's education simply by asking him or her about school everyday, listening to what your child tells you about school, and helping your child stay organized and current with their studies.
Your communication with the school is very important even if you can't come in as much as you want to. We are available by phone through the office - a simple voicemail from you should get a response by the end of the day. You can also email anyone at the school.
Even if you have just one hour a month, there are many opportunities for parents, families and community members to get involved in the education process and help students who you know to succeed.
In addition, when parents are actively involved with a child's education, the student is more likely to have higher grades, greater self esteem and to be socially well adjusted.
