Developing strong partnerships within the communities we serve
Staff actively seek and are open to feedback from families.

  • Call, email or meet with staff and/or administration throughout the year

  • Family end of year survey
The school will provide families with clear information on the curriculum, class schedules, programs, policies, and procedures.

  • Caregiver Handbook

  • Week at a Glance (WAAGS)  

  • School Website 

  • Curriculum Night

  • Open House
Our school supports families as advocates and provides opportunities for parent engagement   Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher, our school counselor    or administration with any questions or concerns.
There are many opportunities for families to build connections to the school and to each other.   We believe building a strong school family begins with making and sustaining      connections with all of our families. Our PTO is always looking for volunteers          and support. They put on amazing community building activities throughout        the school year in which all students and their families are welcome to attend!      We also encourage parents/guardians to volunteer in our classrooms and/or eat    lunch with their kiddos.

Families Can Help Support at Home:

  • Read every night

  • To become a better reader, kids need books in their hands and stories in their heads! 20 minutes of nightly reading will help improve their reading.

  • When you’re reading with your child, ask them questions along the way! Find out what they wonder about as they read. Ask them what skill they’re working on in school and see if they can apply that at home.

    • Read to self, read to sibling/adult/pet, have an adult or older sibling read to your child
Families are kept up-to-date on their child's progress through regular communications.

  • Infinite Campus

  • Phone Calls

  • Newsletters

  • Report Cards 

  • Conferences
Our school will engage families in Personalized Learning as a key strategy to develop each learner.
