Parent Involvement
Research demonstrates that parent involvement is essential for student success. Although you may not become involved in all committees and support organizations in the school, we encourage the following activities for your parental support:
● Join the school Parent/Teacher/Student Association (PTSA) and participate in meetings and activities.
● Join the School Accountability Committee (SAC) and participate in meetings.
● Have lunch at school with your child.
● Volunteer in your child's classroom.
● Keep informed of school events and activities by reading school newsletters.
● Communicate frequently with your child's teacher.
Visiting the School
Parents are always welcome at school. If you know in advance that you will be visiting your child's classroom, we encourage you to notify your child's teacher ahead of time so they are prepared for your visit. We do not allow students to bring friends or other non-registered students to school due to liability and space restrictions. In addition, parents may not bring younger siblings, other children, or babies with them when they visit or volunteer in a classroom. This can be a serious distraction from the learning environment for all students.
● A person wishing to observe a classroom during instructional time must make arrangements in advance with the principal and the teacher. The visitor should refrain from interfering with teacher-student interactions during classroom instruction.
Visitor Badges Upon arrival, ALL visitors are required to come to the school office, sign in, show identification, and receive a visitor's badge. All visitors MUST sign out upon leaving the building.
Volunteer General Guidelines:
● Sign in and out at the front desk.
● Wear a visitor badge (obtained at the front desk).
● Stay in the area(s) associated with your assignment(s).
● Be nonpolitical when volunteering in the school.
● Keep interactions with teachers and students confidential.
● Use appropriate channels of communication for comments and suggestions.
● Notify the school office if unable to volunteer on their scheduled day.
● Comply with Jeffco and school regulations while on campus.
