Regularly Communicate with Your Child’s School
- Become a partner with your children’s teachers and administrators by visiting the school, or calling the teacher, using the website of the school, or emailing the teachers and administrators.
- Know your child’s interests and unique needs and then communicate these to the school.
- Follow-up with school communications in a timely fashion.
- Know what the teacher expects from your child.
- Parents can support their child’s educational progress by keeping in contact with the school using their phone, writing notes to the school, email, checking websites, or visiting the school.
- If you cannot communicate with the school yourself, find a relative or neighbor who can advocate on your behalf with the school.
