Parents,

I would like to welcome you and your child to Reed Elementary!

I believe that parents are teachers too!  You are the first, most long lasting, and most important teacher in your child’s life.  That is why we, at Reed Elementary, continually solicit your involvement and support.

Research shows that parent involvement is high on the list of factors contributing to a student’s success in school.  Our goal is to work together with you to provide the best educational program possible for your children.

How can you get involved?  Show your children you’re interested and concerned.  At home, take time each day to talk to them about their experiences in school.  Ask about homework assignments.  Your consistent interest in their progress and personal development in school will motivate them to want to learn.

Get involved at school by maintaining contact with your children’s teachers.  Feel free to ask questions.  Attend parent teacher conferences.  Be supportive of the exciting school wide activities held each year.  Let your child know you are working together with the teacher and the school to help make your child’s education beneficial in every way.  Home and school working together as a team can make the school year a very successful one for your child.

Sincerely,

Chuck Silzly

Reed Elementary Principal
