Fostering Relations With School Staff

Breaking down barriers fostering positive communications

between teachers and parents and having engaged families will lead to

better outcomes for students Research shows that family engagement

promotes student success Students with engaged parents are more likely to earn higher grades and pass their

classes attend school regularly and have better social skills and go on to postsecondary education When families

teachers and schools find ways to work together student achievement improves teacher morale rises communication

increases and family school and community connections multiply

Parents want what is best for their children and teachers do too The more teachers and parents talk to each

other work with one another and remember that the child is the focus the more successful the child will be And we

can all use some help on how to make that happen Here are some tips that can help parents foster a positive

relationship with their childrsquos teacher

Find time to share your experiences with schools and how that has shaped your perception about parent

teacher relationships Talk about how you think school differs from when or where you attended

Discuss with the teacher what you think are the most important challenges facing schools in your community

and what strengths your school and community have to meet these challenges

Communicate with your childrsquos teacher(s) early and often Send emails or handwritten notes If you prefer

direct contact establish a regular time to visit or call the teacher to set up a time that works for you and the

teacher If something happens in the home that may affect classroom performance let the teacher know

immediately

Actively participate in parent-teacher conferences For example come prepared with a set of questions

comments and if necessary concerns

If your schedule permits volunteer to spend time in the classroom or chaperone class trips For parents of

older students come to school-wide events Also find out how to better support learning in the home

Understand that since teachers cannot always communicate during the school day you may not get as an

immediate response as you do in your workplace But donrsquot let a call or email go unanswered If necessary

call or write again

If your child is having a problem in class talk with the teacher first The teacher will appreciate it and be more

willing to work with you Going over the teacherrsquos head in most cases puts everyone on the defensive

Find out how the local school and the district operates It will help you understand what teachers can and

must do what their limitations are and how you the parent can help

Ask your childrsquos teacher and school to clarify what your child should be learning and doing during the school

year and ask for ways you can help reinforce the educational program at home

Set high expectations for your child Your child will benefit from it and the teacher will appreciate it
