Research shows that when schools and families work together and support each other, students of all
backgrounds and various abilities achieve at higher levels. We understand that parents are busy people,
but there are many different ways for you to be involved with your child’s education. As Family
Engagement Specialist, I am here to help you find ways to be involved. Some of the ways that you can be
actively involved are by:
- Volunteering : Parents can volunteer at school activities or events.
- Attending events: Parents can attend back-to-school nights, orientation events, and school events.
- Attending parent-teacher conferences: Parents can meet with their child's teacher to learn about
their child's academic performance and the teacher's expectations. - Communicating with the school: Let us know if there are any changes to pick-up lists, phone
numbers or addresses during the year. We want to make sure you are getting all of the information
that you need to help your child succeed and feel good about their education. - Encouraging learning at home: Make time to help your child with activities that will contribute to
their academic achievement at school. Provide a regular place for them to do homework each day.
Please let me know what I can do to help you as you support your student and the school this year. I am
available to help you each day from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. You may email me at
heather.stewart@trionschools.org or call me at (706)734-0724. I look forward to working with you this
year.
Remember, when parents get involved and stay involved, all students achieve at higher levels.
