Parent Involvement

Parent involvement is essential to the teachers and staff members of Weber Elementary. Successful parent involvement can be defined as the active, ongoing participation of a parent or primary caregiver in the education of his or her child.  Parents can be involved at home by reading with their children, helping them with homework, and discussing school activities.  Here are some different ways parents can be involved:

• Walking Students to Class

  • If necessary, parents will be permitted to walk their students to the classroom during the first day of school.  Following this period, parents will not be allowed to do so.  Multiple staff members will be available to assist students in getting to their classrooms.  This procedure will allow our students and staff to begin their day with minimal interruptions while keeping our school building as safe and secure as possible. 

• Birthday Celebrations

  • We will celebrate elementary student birthdays once a month.  These specific days are listed on the district calendar (2nd Friday of each month). Parents are invited to attend but must confirm with the classroom teacher that they will attend and ensure a volunteer form has been completed and turned in to the school office one week before the event. Parents must contact the classroom teacher for a specific celebration time and to determine what food/drink items to bring.  Please remember that all food and drink items must be prepackaged (no baked goods will be allowed).

• Holiday Parties

  • We will celebrate holidays (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter) with classroom parties.  Parents are invited to attend but must confirm with the classroom teacher that they will attend and ensure a volunteer form has been completed and turned in to the school office one week before the event.  Because of space, only a limited number of parents will be allowed to participate in each party. Please let your child's teacher know if you are interested in planning or helping with these events.  Please remember that all food and drink items must be prepackaged (no baked goods will be allowed).  More specific information will be shared closer to the event dates.

• Lunch

  • Visitors will be allowed to eat lunch with students.  Only parents/guardians will be permitted unless prior approval has been made with the office for another person to attend.  Visitors and their students will sit at a special location in the cafeteria and not with the other students at the regular classroom table.  Please refrain from planning to eat with your student during the first two weeks of school.  This will allow us the time to establish the routines and procedures necessary for an efficient lunch period for our students.

• Other During/After School Activities

  • We have planned many events throughout the school year to involve parents/guardians in the academic process. These events include, but are not limited to, Meet the Teacher Day, Parent/Teacher Conferences, music programs, Grandparents' Day, Title Family Events, and the Scholastic Book Fair. All of these events are listed on the school calendar. More specific information will be listed closer to the event dates.
