Being completely committed to the academic development of my child, I teach and model the importance of participation in education through regular, consistent, and timely attendance in their academic activities. I value the opportunity to prepare my child for school participation. 

As a parent, homework activities become the primary shared element of my child’s education. The cooperative relationship between my child’s teacher, the curriculum, and myself becomes the method by which I am able to be aware of and involved in my child’s progress. 

I look forward to and seek out feedback and direction from the teacher through scheduled teacher conferences or requested meetings. I value their experience and instruction and assume they value my intimate understanding of my child. Our positive cooperative communication will have a direct impact on the academic success of my child. 

My vested interest in my child will kindle a genuine respect for the faculty and pride for the school my child attends. I seek to make supportive and long lasting relationships with school staff. Through my support of academics, activities, and relationships, I model the pride and respect that I desire my child to have.
