In what practical ways do you and/or your school currently support parents? What benefits have you seen from this?
-
Our school will regularly do parent Q&A nights or seminars about various issues facing adolescents, technologies, and the culture. Parents walk away feeling supported by other parents, encouraged by the speaker, and equipped with knowledge and Scripture to parent their teen.
-
We offer conferences, orientation, and we plan this year to have a parent’s night specifically as an open forum for information and for the school to be able to give them information to help their student have a successful year.
-
We make it a high priority to partner with each of our families to ensure they understand how valuable their child is to us. We partner with parents by providing help in discipling, schoolwork, behavior issues that may arise, early and late care for those working, summer camps, after school clubs, along with just being there to support and give encouragement and help when needed.
-
Our school sets meetings/events schedule around the work schedule and at the availability of the parent(s) child’s need. The benefits have been astounding with cooperation from parents, and the student(s) academic performance has excelled.
-
Once a semester, we arrange video conferences with translation to inform parents about their children’s progress and give opportunity for questions and discussion. Also, we started to give weekly updates on what topics we studied. Teachers submit photos to the staff that has direct contact with parents. The benefit is that parents share our vision as we help raise children to become responsible, kind, mature adults.
