A sample portfolio of your child's work through the years serves as a good measure of your child's progress. You may request to review your child's school records by contacting the school administrator. Develop a binder system, expanding file, or color-coded folder system to enable easy access. Last but not least, parents should become collaborators with school personnel early in the school year. Networking with other parents at school will provide information and strategies that will encourage you and solve shared concerns.
Teachers welcome involved parents.
To make the best use of the limited time teachers have for meetings, call ahead for an appointment and be prepared with questions and information that will be helpful to address the learning needs of the student. It is also helpful to share reports with the school which you have obtained privately, e.g. medical, psychological, educational, counseling, so that everyone involved has access to the same information about your child.
