Communication
Communication is key to success in ANY relationship. Email is the best way to communicate with me - PLEASE let me know about your childs successes and struggles, you and your family, your questions or concerns (or praises...), or ANYTHING ELSE that may affect your child's performance and function in school - it IS important and I DO care!
​
Involvement
Feel free to send me an email (see below) to let me know if you are involved in a science-related field, if you would like to present during class about a science-related topic, or if you are simply available during the day to help in class or on class field trips. It's great for the students to see others involved in the community!
"Although a parent’s role in their children’s learning evolves as kids grow, one thing remains constant: we are our children’s learning models. Our attitudes about education can inspire theirs and show them how to take charge of their own educational journey"

“The report, a synthesis of research on parent involvement over the past decade, also found that, regardless of family income or background, students with involved parents are more likely to:

Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs
-
Be promoted, pass their classes, and earn credits
-
Attend school regularly
-
Have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school
-
Graduate and go on to postsecondary education"
