It is the goal of School District 112 to develop strong partnerships with the home. Parents and schools working as partners increase student achievement and help students develop positive attitudes about self and school. The key factor in the home-school partnership is the relationship between the teacher and the parent. Teachers are professionals who manage a variety of instructional resources.
Parents are an essential resource in the learning process of their children.
Organizational support from the School Board, district administration, and building principals enables teachers to effectively develop the partnership. District 112 schools already are active in fostering the home-school relationship. The intent of this policy is to result in consciously doing those things already in practice in a more efficient, consistent, and effective manner, as well as generating new ways of strengthening the partnership. The development of an infrastructure to continually assess, plan, and implement strategies that build the partnership. A districtwide committee of parents, teachers, and administrators to guide overall program efforts and serve as a home-school partnership network.
