Home-School Partnership
Supporting each child by meeting their individual personal, social, emotional, and academic needs is a priority. We ask for your assistance at home with these important jobs. Together we can achieve great things!
- Remind your child(ren) every day to be kind. Kindness does not discriminate and we are all capable of being kind regardless of our individual differences. Promoting a kind environment is important throughout a child’s day both at school and at home.
- Ensure that your child(ren) is attending school every day either in the in person learning model or the remote learning model We understand more than ever that illness can be debilitating and emergencies arise. Symptoms of illness are taken seriously at school and we appreciate your support and patience with our health and safety protocols to keep your child and all children healthy. When healthy, without symptoms, attendance matters. Attendance in person or remotely is a critical component to a child’s success.
- Establish good routines at home that involve a consistent bedtime. A well-rested child is a happier, more successful child.
- Communicate the importance of education to your child(ren). Each child should find time to read at home every day for enjoyment.
- Ask open-ended questions to your child(ren). Rather than ask your child ‘how was your day?’ (only to have them respond ‘good’), ask them to tell you about their favorite part of their day, or ask them how they were kind to another student. Asking an open-ended question allows for more dialogue about their school day.
- Play and stay active. Keep your child(ren) away from electronics and social media when not a part of the educational program.
- Focus your encouragement on the process of hard work and effort, rather than the end result. We want students to learn to work hard and try their best always. For example if your child is running outside, focus on how hard they are working while running rather than what their time was or what place they finished in.
- And remember we are a team. We are partners in your child(ren)’s success here at school. Communicate with us often. We will support you and ask that you support us. We have the same goals as you for your child; we want them to be happy, healthy, and productive members of our society!
