HLA Parents & Families

Parent Participation- A significant correlation has been established between direct parent involvement and a school’s overall high rate of success. At HLA we encourage each family to volunteer at least 10 hours a year. A list of volunteer activities can be found in your scholar’s classroom. (GCC BP 01-08)

Classroom Volunteers- Parent volunteers can help teachers with task such as reading with individual students, working with a child or group on basic math facts or high frequency words, making copies, field trips, etc. If being on campus does not fit in a parent’s schedule, they can help out by volunteering to bring items home to work on and send back. Contact your child’s teacher for further questions and to fill out the appropriate paperwork.

School Newsletters:

A school newsletter will be published regularly informing parents of important information, upcoming events, and ways to help out at the school.
