THE FAMILY : SCHOOL- FAMILY

PARTNERSHIP

family member of students at school.
Effective partnership are based on mutual
trust and respect and shared responsibility
for the education of the children and young

multiple demands on their time, so each school needs to
define for itself the types of partnerships that are most
important and then set priorities for interventions that target
them.

carefully planned and implemented. Assessing at the
beginning of the school year parents' needs, views, and
patterns of school involvement is an essential first step.

communication with parents throughout the school year
about class rules, expectations, and goals will involve them in
the educational process in meaningful ways.

communicate with parents when their children misbehave.

 Personalized: Providing school wide newsletters and general

classroom notes serves the important function of keeping
parents in touch with school activities and events.

programming extends the learning environment from the

keeping parents involved provides a
community feeling which benefits the child

of the strongest predictors of studentes
achievements, so clear and high expectations
