As a parent, or adult who plays an important role in the life of a child, your involvement in your child’s education at school and at home shows your child that you value education.  Here are some ways you can be involved in your child’s education each year at school:

• Meet the teacher.  Let him/her know how and when it is best to reach you.  Ask how you can support your child’s learning at home.
• Make a date with the teacher to visit your child’s classroom.
• Go to parent-teacher conferences.
• Join the PTA.  Go to school events, like back-to-school night.  As a group, see how you can help the school reach its goals.
• Stay up to date on school policies, schedules and rules.  Ask about opportunities to participate in the development of school policies.
• Make sure that your child is learning what he/she needs to know to meet the standards set for their grade level.
• Check your school’s Web site.
• Contact your child’s teacher if you have any concerns about what’s going on with your child at school.
