A Role for Parents/Guardians

Parent/Guardian involvement in all aspects of their child's educational planning is paramount to the success of the child. When parents/guardians are actively involved in the educational activities of their children, the children are more successful in school. Parent/Guardian communication with the school and participation in school activities can provide academic and behavioural support as well as help develop a healthy school climate.

How can parents/guardians help?

• Help teach your children the importance of school-wide expectations at home, at school, and in the community.
   
• Communicate regularly with your child's school and teacher
   
• If possible, volunteer in school activities. Read our Volunteer Handbook.
   
• Take part in the instruction and reinforcement systems if your child is part of a classroom or individual intervention program.
   
• Celebrate your child's successes
