Family Involvement

Research shows that regardless of family income or background, students with involved parents are more likely to:

• Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs
• Be promoted, pass their classes, and earn credits
• Attend school regularly
• Have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school
• Graduate and go on to postsecondary education

Parent participation opportunities include (but are not limited to):

• Parent/Teacher Organization (P.T.O.)
• School Site Council
• Classroom volunteer
• Library volunteer
• Fundraising
• Chaperoning

Please contact the office, or your child's teacher, if you are interested in any of the opportunities listed above, or if you have a special talent, or opportunity that you would like to share with the students.

Parents can also help by:

• Holding your child responsible for his/her actions and behavior.
• Helping your child to grow towards independence and offer him/her challenging opportunities.
• Providing a quiet place and a set time for nightly reading and homework.
• Providing all relevant data that will help staff understand and support your child. Things that affect your child's health and emotional well being should be shared with the school.

Visitors

KVUSD AR #1250 states that all visitors (including parents) must sign in at the school office. A visitor’s pass must be worn at all times and in a manner where it can be easily seen by school staff. Siblings are not allowed on campus unless invited to a planned family event.
