Principal's Message
Dear Parent/Guardian:
We value your role in working to help your child achieve academic success. The following is an outline of some of the ways you and school staff can build and maintain a partnership to share the responsibility for supporting your child’s learning.
School’s Responsibility:
- Provide students high-quality curriculum, learning materials and instruction.
- Provide you with assistance to understand:
- academic achievement standards and assessments, and
- how to monitor your child’s progress, including how to use PowerSchool.
- Provide opportunities for ongoing communication between you and your child’s teachers through, at a minimum:
- annual parent-teacher conferences,
- frequent reports regarding your child’s progress, and
- opportunities to talk with staff, volunteer in class, and observe classroom activities.
- Contact information, best contact method (email/text/phone) for school staff and a return communication within 24 hours or by next work-day.
Parent/Family Responsibility:
- Encourage your child to attend school regularly and on time.
- Encourage your child to show positive school behavior.
- Review your child’s homework.
- Monitor screen time and encourage positive use of your child’s extracurricular time.
- Volunteer in your child’s school and/or classroom if time or schedule allows.
- Attend parent-teacher conferences and participate, when appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of your child.
- Call the teacher or principal when you have concerns or notice something that needs to be addressed or celebrated.
Please review this School-Parent Compact with your child. This document may be discussed during a parent-teacher conference.
Thank you for your support and involvement with your child’s education.
Warm regards,
Nicole Heintzelman
Principal, (406) 268-7015
