Mission Statement

Our intention is to create a platform to open dialogue between parents and teachers in a way that was not possible before due to language barriers

What is the Challenge?

Parental involvement is defined as the participation of parents in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, ensuring:- that parents play an integral role in assisting their child’s learning

- that parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education at school

- that parents are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child

The best way to elicit the support of parents is by improving communication

- summaries of the week’s classroom material

- notification of important upcoming events and dates

- how to work with the student to best prepare them for exams and standardized tests
