Español/Spanish: Consejos para padres - Contactando a la escuela

Staying in regular contact with your child’s teacher and school is more important than you may think. Your contact helps your child in a number of ways:

• You become aware of accomplishments, so you can give praise.
• You become aware of problems, so you can intervene before real trouble hits.
• The teacher pays more attention to your child.
• You can help shape school policies and practices.
• Your child understands that her/his education is important.
