How you can support your student's success and advocate for them

Here are three concise ideas for how families can support and advocate for their student’s success at elementary school:

Communicate Regularly with Teachers: Stay in touch with your child’s teacher to discuss progress and address any areas where support is needed.

Create a Learning-Friendly Home Environment: Set aside time for homework, reading, and educational activities, and offer praise to boost confidence.
