Volunteering
When families volunteer, both the families and schools benefit from each other.
Here are some ideas:
 |
Visit your child's classroom now and then, or stop in for lunch. (Ask the principal if it's OK beforehand) |
|
Volunteer to help in class or with activities such as school plays or sports. |
|
Talk to your child's teacher often. |
|
Join school committees that include parents. |
|
Go to workshops your child's school offers to families. |
Also, though there are many families for whom volunteering during school hours is not possible, here are some creative solutions. Volunteer in
|
before or after school "drop-in" programs |
|
"at-home" support activities |
These all provide opportunities for families to offer their assistance as well. The following website is a helpful guide for additional family involvement information www.icpac.indiana.edu/infoseries/is-44c.html

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT=STUDENT SUCCESS!!
