Parent Involvement
Parents are an important part of School Readiness. We would like you to participate in your child’s school year in ways that will be meaningful to your entire family. Every family will probably choose different ways to be involved, and that’s OK. Each of you have different skills and strengths, different work schedules, and a different family makeup. We hope that you will find a way to be involved with the program that works for you. The following are some examples of how you can involve yourself in your child’s education this year and ideas for the years to come.
