Parents as Partners
Parents need to be strong partners in the education of their children. There is a
positive relationship between the involvement of parents and the academic success
their children achieve. Please continue to be actively involved
in your child’s education by:
• teaching and modeling respect toward others and a positive attitude toward
learning;
• participating in daily reading and regular reviewing;
• ensuring your child attends school daily and on time;
• helping your child set learning goals and plans for improvement; and
• maintaining communication between home and school.
We encourage you to become involved with our parent groups or to volunteer
within the school. Volunteers provide valuable assistance to the office, library and
classrooms.
The mission of the Edmonton Public Schools’ Parents as Partners program is to
provide a forum for school councils and parents to be meaningfully involved in
supporting the critical work of teaching and learning. Activities provide parents with
information on student-focused topics as well as an opportunity to share knowledge
and experience with other parents, school council members and Trustees.

to learn more about how you can get involved.
