How families can support

Family involvement can make a huge difference in student engagement, academic success, and classroom culture. Here are some practical, actionable strategies you can use:

1. Strengthen Communication Channels

Two-Way Communication:
- Encourage you to share concerns, insights, or feedback about their child's learning.

Use Digital Tools: Platforms like Google Classroom & Remind:
- I usually try to send REMIND messages to my Parent/Guardiing list. I encourage you to sign up
- If you have a question PLEASE send me a REMIND text and I will try to get back to you ASAP

2. Families check your child's Google classroom

Please log into your child's Google Classroom regulary

Go to their class

Look at the top for CLASSWORKS.

Click on that

There should be a blue link states:

"view my work"

Here you will be able to see what was turned in, what is missing and what grade they got.

3. Helping out and be Involved

I encourage parents/guardings to be part of decision-making committees like parent-teacher associations (PTAs)

Or if time allows try to volunteer here at the school.

Supporting special events like science fairs, art days, or cultural celebrations
Helping with trips, or projects, or classroom centers.
