Get Involved!

Dear Parent or Guardian:

Studies show that parental involvement in a child's education is one of the most important factors in raising student selfesteem and academic achievement. Moreover, most experts agree that parental involvement should go beyond
attendance at open house and sports events. We realize, however, that each of our families is unique with its own
priorities, needs, talents, and time constraints -- and so we try to provide as many different kinds of opportunities for
parental involvement as possible. Please review the volunteer opportunities suggested below, and check any that you are
interested in -- or tell us what you would like to do. Then return the form to school. If the form is returned before Friday,
September 2nd, your child will receive a get out of dress code wristband that he/she can use on the first Get Out of Dress
Code Day at the school.
