VERY IMPORTANT

PADRES ACTIVOS MEETING

THE FIRST MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH

@ 5:30 PM @ Mexicayotl

¨ Every parent is invited to participate ¨

Remember What PARENT stands for

Partner. Be there for your child and his teacher. Help your child prepare for school at home, and keep track of school events.

Advocate. Work for a positive change. Volunteer.

Resource. Help your child by providing his teacher with information about him. The more she knows about your child's home life, the more she'll be able to help him learn.

Encourager. Support your child and his teacher. Believe in them. Compliment jobs well done.

Negotiator. Be willing to talk. Be open to finding innovative solutions.

Team Member. Do your share of the work. Teachers can't fix everything themselves. A child's education takes place at home, too.

 

One of the most prevalent and consistent findings in the research on good schools is that parent involvement makes a difference. Positive parent involvement has a significant impact on student achievement, student school attendance, and the central role of the school in students' lives. At Mexicayotl every parent is encouraged to participate in any and all activities. All are teachers welcome parents to volunteer in the classroom as well.
