As standards for student achievement increase, it has become more critical than ever for parents to be involved as partners in their child's education. Here are some suggestions that can help you support your child's learning:
-Make time to talk with the teacher(s) and, if possible, visit the classroom.
-Schedule a time to talk with your child's teachers, if you have issues or concerns. Try NOT to do it while your child's teacher is working with your child or other students.
-Realize communication is critical. Send notes, call or e-mail your child's teacher even if you are not able to come in due to schedule conflicts.
-Explain any special equipment, medication, or medical problem your child has.
-Let the teacher(s) know about any activities or big events that may influence your child's performance in school.
-Create an environment in your home that encourages learning. Ask the teacher(s) how you can build upon your child's school activities at home.
Give your child chores at home. Encourage behavior that leads to success in school, such as accepting responsibility, behaving, being organized, and being on time.
-Volunteer to help in the classroom or school. This will let you see how things work in the school and how your child interacts with others. It will also help the school.

If you have concerns, please contact me either by phone at 696-6186 or by email. My school email address is: brobeson@amphi.com. I do appreciate parental input. I really would prefer to take care of a concern you might have earlier than later. It's best not to wait for it to become a major issue of concern for all of us later. This page contains some links to resources that (hopefully) will make your role as a parent a little easier. Enjoy!
