Here are 3 ways to support your child’s success this year.
CONNECT with your child’s teacher.
Reach out at the start of the school year to introduce yourself and begin building a strong partnership.
Protip:
You know your child best. Use the Dear Teacher letter to share what helps your child learn and where they need extra support.
ASK what your child should learn this year.
Find out what your child is expected to learn in reading and math and how you can help at home.
Protip:
Ask for examples of what “grade level” work looks like and which specific skills are most important to support at home.
UNDERSTAND why attendance matters.
Every school day helps your child build reading, math, and lifelong skills.
Build the habit of good attendance from the early grades through high school.
Protip:
Regularly attending school increases reading and math skills, and supports positive relationships and mental health.

Did you Know?
Almost 9 in 10 parents think their kids are at or above grade level***. But only 30% of 8th graders nationally demonstrate proficiency or above in math and reading.****
Given grade level standards are inconsistent across states, NAEP "proficiency/above" offers a national standard representing "solid academic performance for the given grade level" which is what we aspire our students to be able to do.
