HELPING YOUR CHILD SUCCEED IN SCHOOL  

As a parent or caregiver, you are your child's first and most important teacher. When families are involved in their children’s learning both at home and at school, their children do better in school. In fact, many studies show that what the family does is more important to a child's school success than how much money the family makes or how much education the parents have. There are many ways that families can support their children's learning at home and throughout the school year. Here are some ideas to get you started!

     1) Value education.
     2) Value your child's interests.
     3) Help your child develop goals each school year.
     4) Think of you and your child's teacher(s) as a team.
     5) Read with your child twenty minutes every day.
