Resources

Here are a few valuable resources for families:

Parental Rights and Responsibilities

Family Literacy and the School Community:  A Partnership for Lifelong Learning

Get Ready to Read!  Tips for Parents of Young Children

Good Nutrition Leads to Better Learning

Instead of asking your child, "What did you learn at school today?" to which you get the typical response of "nothing," ask, "What are two things you learned at school today."  This helps student recall and retain what they have learned, and it sparks communication with your child.

Volunteers

"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they just have the heart." Elizabeth Andrews

Research has shown that parent involvement in a child's education is a significant indicator for student success. As a community school, our students and teachers depend on volunteers to help with a variety of projects, events, and other student needs.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for our school, please fill out a form located in the school office.

All volunteers must sign in at the office upon arrival.
