Parents remind other parents of the importance of student attendance. The state of Alabama has implemented a statewide Discover Your Schools Day to build ongoing, productive relationships among community leaders, PTAs, businesses, churches, and government and to promote parental involvement in education. Parents can help schools acquire needed supplies, equipment, and services, such as landscaping, carpeting, painting, and more. Our teachers call on parents whenever special help is needed. For example, a teacher might want help with activities that involve sewing Colonial costumes, dissecting frogs, or making gingerbread houses.
Parents assist with our school breakfast program.
They deliver the food chests to classrooms and pick them up. They made 376 stockings and handed them out to students at an assembly. We have a district chess tournament that involves parents and students. Teachers send home postcards to share good news with parents. Drawing a big crowd on PTA night isn't a given either.
