Start the School Year Strong: Three Ways to Support Learning
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.
