    Higley High School

    When a childs family is involved in the childs academic life; grades improve, test scores rise, and the childs attitude towards school improves. There are behavioral benefits as well. These include improved behavior at school, higher attendance rates, lower drop-out rates, higher self esteem, and the child will be less likely to engage in high-risk behavior (Callender & Hansen).

    Many changes take place during adolescence. Some of the hardest for parents are the emotional and behavioral changes.

    It is important for parents to give their child some space during this time of development, but it is also important to stay connected. A great way to do this is to be actively involved with your childs school. Volunteer at school Help your child with their homework Attend school functions Visit your childs classroom Share your expertise or experience with your childs class through guest speaking; and Take on leadership roles in the school and participate in the decision-making process

    When people or activities from individual microsystems interact to from a new experience for the child.

    Help all families establish home environments to support children as students. Home conditions should support adolescent learning. Ensure the child has a quiet place to study. Assist your child with their homework, and ask to see your childs homework each night. Ensure child gets adequate sleep (at this age your child needs between 8 and a half to 9 and a half hours of sleep each night). Ensure child has a healthy diet

    Design effective forms of school-to-home and home-toschool communications about school programs and childrens progress. Attend all parent-teacher conferences. Monthly folders of your childs work is sent home for review and comments. Review them and let their teacher know of any issues or concerns. Report cards are sent in the mail. If your childs grades needs improving contact the school and schedule a parent-teacher conference.

    Recruit and organize parent help and support. You are encouraged to volunteer in the school and in the classroom. This helps teachers, students, and other parents. Know the class parent. They can provide you will any information you might have missed, such as homework assignments and class projects.

    Provide information and ideas to families about how to help students at home with homework and other curriculum-related activities, decisions, and planning. Calendars are provided for parents and students to take home. The family science fair is held each year. You are encouraged to help your child with this project

    Parents are encouraged to join the PTA. Be an advocate for your child and ensure their needs are being met at school.

    Identify and integrate resources and services from the community to strengthen school programs, family practices, and student learning and development. The school is working with the local fire department to offer recycling stations. The school is implementing a school garden. Fresh produce is offered to families in need as well as to the residents at local nursing homes.
