Parents & Guardians

As a child’s first teacher, a parent or guardian plays the most important role in a child’s development. When children start school, we promote continued support and participation of parents and guardians. Resources available in this area are meant to assist you in your support of your child’s learning and to provide information regarding the many ways parents can be involved.
