About Eden Pontz

Content: Common reasons include demanding work schedules that allow little time for volunteering, discomfort communicating with school officials due to cultural or language barriers, and difficulty with transportation or childcare. School budget cuts and stretched resources may leave teachers, counselors, and administrators less time to create effective systems for family involvement. But when parents are able to get involved, their participation can help schools make the most of existing resources. And there are many ways for parents to stay involved in their children’s education that don’t require a trip to the school! Through open communication and collaboration, parents and teachers create important opportunities for teens to develop social, emotional, and academic skills. Ways to Get Involved
Here are 11 suggestions for getting involved in your child’s education. Attend back-to-school nights or other orientation events. Get to know your teen’s teachers in the beginning of the school year. These events are also a great way to meet other families. Attending parent-teacher conferences throughout the year ensures you are on the same page.
