Get Involved!
How can parents and community members get involved?
Touch base!
Families and caregivers are the earliest teachers for our students. Reach out to your student’s teacher via email or phone, during conferences, after school, etc., and share your thoughts about your student’s strengths, as well as any academic, social-emotional, and/or behavioral concerns.
Ask for data!
Ask your student’s teachers for regular updates regarding universal screening and progress monitoring results.
Ask questions!
Your student’s teacher can provide information regarding the high-quality curriculum being taught and the research behind any interventions provided.
Check with your child's school to see what Tier 1 interventions are already being given to all students!
What else can you do?
What happens if an intervention is not working? Parents play a critical role in supporting what their children are learning in school. Research shows that the more parents are involved in student learning, the higher the student achievement.
There are many ways parents can support what their child is doing in school. Here are a few:
Make reading an everyday habit at home
Communicate with your child's teacher
Monitor and assist with homework assignments
Ask for regular monitoring reports
Share your child's successes!
Learn more about the curricula and interventions being used in your child's school
Attend parent/teacher conferences and other school meetings about your child
