We know strong partnerships with you will make a great difference in your child’s early childhood experience. As partners, we share responsibility for your child’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities.

  • Parent engagement opportunities by participating in parent meetings, volunteering, participating in policy council, school-wide events or attending education, health, or safety committee meetings.
  • On-going monitoring of your child’s educational growth will be measured throughout the year with our child assessment and results will be shared with families at home visits and conferences.

Your child’s early childhood years are very important. We do encourage that your child attends school daily and arrives on time, as attendance does play a huge impact on your child’s learning experience.
