Parent Participation

Birthday Treats

Children often like to bring a treat to school to share and celebrate their birthdays. Treats should be small and easily served (see Snacks). Please note that some teachers prefer other celebrations rather than treats to celebrate a birthday. If you would like to celebrate your child's birthday at school, please make arrangements with your child's teacher.

Classroom Help

Parent involvement is welcome in all classrooms. Every kind of help is appreciated from observing, to listening to a child read, to helping correct papers. If you have a particular talent, skill, or interest you would like to share with your child's class, just let the teacher know.

Classroom Parties

Two class parties are allowed each year. Most classes will celebrate Halloween and Valentines Day. Let your child's teacher know if you would like to participate. Remember the guidelines or bringing food under Snacks.

Learning Improvement Team

Parents and teachers meet monthly to address progress toward the school goals. This group is a combination of the School Based Council and theTitle 1 Parent Involvement Group. They meet the first Tuesday of each month from 3:40 - 5:00.
