Parental Involvement
Parental/Guardian involvement is extremely important for the success of the student in science class. It is important that both the teacher and the parent/guardian communicate effectively with each other in order to ensure consistency. I strongly encourage parent/guardian participation in science so that your child can have the best chance for a successful year. I hope to consistently communicate with you about both positives and possible concerns regarding your child. Please feel free to contact me whenever you have questions or concerns. Ways for you to be more involved:
- Communicate with your child's teachers via phone or email.
- Check your child's assignment notebook on a daily basis. He/she will be writing in it daily!
- Check our team website for grades and upcoming events.
- Make arrangements to come visit your child's classes.
- Make an appointment to meet with the 6 North team.
- Volunteer in class or come with us on field trips.
- Attend Open House and other Franklin Family Events throughout the year.
- Set up a time to meet with teachers during parent-teacher conferences.
- Ask about providing treats for holidays, ISAT testing, incentive days, or field trips.
- Ask about donating supplies or materials to be used for instruction in class.
- Be a guest speaker if you are or have in the past studied any of the fields of science we have in our curriculum.
