The Governing Board shall seek to foster relationships with parents. By collaborating, parents and ACS can work together toward achieving common educational goals for students. This relationship is fostered when ACS:
Consults with and encourages parents to share in school planning through written suggestions or proposals, serve on advisory committees such as the School Advisory Committee (SAC), respond to surveys, and comment at meetings to the Governing Board.
Helps parents understand the educational process and their role in promoting it.
Provides opportunities for parents to be informed about their student’s development and the criteria for its measurement.
As a parent, you should expect to be regularly involved in your student’s education. As a parent/guardian, it is expected that you:
Provide educational support by ensuring your student attends school daily, is on time and prepared to learn by having the necessary materials.
Attend conferences.
Support school rules and work cooperatively with the school.
Be familiar with and follow school procedures.
Review ACS’s Behavior Expectations with your student.
Require your students to complete all of their assignments on time.
Support your student with a regular time, a quiet place, and encouragement to complete assignments
Monitor their assignments, work, and habits.
Foster independence by helping with but not doing their homework for them.
Contact your student’s teacher if you have concerns about homework.
