Making Your Child Successful in School....

Giving your child the best opportunity to succeed and excel in
school starts at home and extends into the classroom.
Involving Yourself in the Classroom..
-
Talk to your teacher about visiting classroom; a visit will give you an idea of what your child does at school and how he or she interacts with other children.
-
Talk to your teacher about volunteering to help in the classroom as an assistant (listening to children read, for example, or serving as an aide during computer work).
-
Support student events and performances by helping with them (such as sewing costumes or painting scenery for a school play) and by attending them.
-
Participate in workshops that are offered, such as those on child development or concerns that parents have (or help plan such workshops).
- Take advantage of parent-teacher contracts (perhaps agreeing to read with your child for a certain amount of time each night).
- Ask your child's teacher if he or she has materials that you can use to help your child at home and to supplement homework.
