Parent and Student Resources

You are your child's first and most important teacher!  Your involvement in your child's education is crucial to his or her academic success.  We encourage your commitment and participation, and we endorse a strong partnership between the family and schools.

WHAT ARE MY PARENT RIGHTS?
• Be involved and request regular meetings to express your opinions and concerns.
• Be provided information on your child’s level of achievement on State and District Assessments (i.e., FSA and iReady).
• Request and receive information on the qualifications of your child’s teacher.
• Be informed if your child is taught by a non-state certified teacher for four or more consecutive weeks.
• Be informed about testing.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT MY CHILD’S EDUCATION?
• Share a love of learning, attend events, visit the classroom, and volunteer at the school.
• Read to your child and ask your child to read to you.
• Take advantage of the public and school libraries.
• Show interest in your child’s school day; ask questions.
• Create FOCUS and parent Canvas accounts to review assignments and grades.
• Praise their efforts.
• Encourage good study habits; limit TV and social media time.
• Join the School Advisory Council (SAC) or District Advisory Council (DAC).
• View the District/School websites and social media pages for updates and notifications.
