Dear D56 Families,
I wanted to thank you for attending parent-teacher conferences over the last couple of nights. Your presence and active participation can truly make a difference in your child's progress and educational journey. Parent involvement in school is crucial for several reasons, all of which contribute to the overall success and well-being of students. The benefits of parent involvement include academic achievement, positive attitude toward school, improved behavior, better home-school communication, social and emotional growth, and increased parental satisfaction through the development of relationships and trust.
Overall, parent involvement in school plays a vital role in your child’s educational experience and it strengthens the partnership between home and school, creating a supportive environment where every child can thrive.
On another note, our next Portrait of a Graduate competency is Critical and Creative Thinker. The D56 Portrait of a Graduate identifies competencies at each grade level that will build a community of students and professionals working on common goals. The essence of this competency is for students to develop the skills of sharing ideas, understanding that making mistakes is a part of learning, and taking different perspectives to solve problems and complete tasks.
