Get Involved!
Engaged families are a key factor in helping students and schools succeed. Through open communication and collaboration, families and schools create important opportunities for children to do well in school.
Connect with school staff
Call, email, or introduce yourself to the teachers and principal.
Give feedback to the teacher and school
No one knows your child better than you — so it's important to take initiative and communicate that insight to the teacher throughout the school year.
Attend events
Schools host many events throughout the year.
Read the information that the teacher and school send
Read the information that your child brings home and take note of important announcements and dates, such as back-to-school night and parent-teacher conferences. You can ask to receive information in your native language if necessary!
Volunteer
There are many way you can volunteer at school. You can chaperone a field trip, serve on a school committee representative , help in your child's class, library, or in the school office.
