A child educated only at school is an uneducated child. ~George Santayana Parental involvement is of the utmost importance in a child’s education. No one knows your child like you do, and you are a very important piece in their education experience and what they will get out of it. You have the right to speak out for a better education for your children. There are six very important ways that you as a parent can help with the education of your child. You can volunteer at your child’s school, create conditions that support learning at home, establish good communication lines between your self and your child’s teacher, be involved in your child’s homework and projects, become a parent leader or decision maker for your child’s school such as the P.T.A. or advisory groups and help integrate resources from your community to help strengthen school programs. I am looking forward to working with your children as well as you throughout this school year. If you have any questions or suggestions as to how to help your student get the most out of this school year, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks, and here's to a great year! Regards, Mr. DeBoer [] The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. ~Robert Maynard Hutchins
