Today is National Parent
Involvement Day and my school celebrated by encouraging students to get their
parents involved in their education. Students were asked to tell family members
what they love about going to school online and give tours of their classrooms.
Recently, our LMS added a Parent Portal that will give parents and guardians
access to many useful tools to help their students succeed. It gives them an
inbox that receives messages teachers specify for parents and access full classroom
content. It also allows parents to see midterm and quarter grades, upcoming
events, and how many credits their student still needs to graduate. I am hoping
this new tool helps parents become more involved and aware of their childrens’
progress in school. As every teacher knows, parental involvement is essential
in a child’s education. Other ways I try to get parents involved: newsletters home, personal phone calls, and field trips. Tomorrow I will be attending a field trip to a local art museum and I hope to meet many of my students and parents!
