Parent involvement is key
In 色窝窝无码一区二区三区, the community is a family. And family is what we鈥檙e all about.
That鈥檚 why moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts and uncles gathered across the district for National Parent Involvement Week.
There are many ways to bridge the gap between home and school.
In fact, many campuses across the district celebrate parent involvement all year round.
Peach Elementary started off the week with a Moments with Moms event. Moms were able to walk their students to class followed by a Mommy Moment in the library to enjoy a cup of coffee with other moms and Peach principal Ayesha Ramos. 聽
Later in the week, the school hosted a similar event for Peach dads and a parent workshop.
From saying 鈥淕ood morning鈥 to 鈥淗ave a great day,鈥 Sherrod Elementary鈥檚 Dad鈥檚 Club members also know how to kick off the morning.
The dads make arriving at school much more than just a morning drop-off.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a bonding thing,鈥 said third grade dad Keith Schleutermann.
As one of the many opportunities for parents to get involved in their child鈥檚 school, Dad鈥檚 Club parents assist with morning drop-off, attend school lunches and even shadow their kiddo’s classrooms.
鈥淚t starts their day in a positive way,鈥 said Sherrod principal Karen Hicks. 鈥淚 can see the difference in the well-being of the kids. It makes a huge impact on them when they see that their parents want to be active in their education.鈥 聽聽聽

鈥淲e鈥檙e building trust,鈥 said Sherrod family engagement liaison Kirsten Harman. 鈥淲e want parents to trust that we鈥檙e taking good care of their children and that we can make educational decisions together.鈥
This is Harman鈥檚 first year at the school, but she has already helped parent involvement become a huge part of the culture at Sherrod.
