11 TIPS FOR GETTING INVOLVED IN YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION
1. Take your child to school on the first day.
2. Let your child know school is important.
3. Read everything that is sent home from school. Show your child that you are well informed.
4. Get to know your child's teachers and school administrators by attending meetings and conferences.
5. Ask for copies of school policies. Ask questions if there is something you do not understand.
6. Volunteer to help out with school activities. Attend events, help with fundraisers, etc.
7. Visit your child's classroom when class is in sessions, not just at conferences. Set this up in advance with the school office.
8. Talk to other parents. If there is a parent organization, join it.
9. Encourage your child to read at home. Visit local libraries to pick books out together.
10. Invite step parents, grandparents, and other adults to get involved in your child's education.
