Family Friendly Schools

Parents are a child's first and most influential teacher. Therefore, the schools should and must have a strong, positive, partnership with parents. From involving families in the first day of school, to the principals and teachers getting to know the parents (and making home visits when necessary), to hosting no fewer than 10 fun, informational family events throughout the year. I believe with the school and family friendly partnership, our schools will reach their full potential. I teach at a magnet school in Huntsville, Alabama, and I know that the key ingredent to the success of our program is a strong academic program, capable administrators and teachers, and strong parential involvement. We work as a family and the health and success of any family is that everyone is important and must be successful. We are only as strong as the weakest link. So, parents please, please, please get involved. To find out how to get involved purchase my recently released book, "A Parent's Handbook: How to Get the Best Education For Your Child K-6. You'll be glad you did!
