Home-School Partnerships

We are in the business of student success.  All stakeholders must hold themselves and students accountable.   Stakeholders that do not hold themselves and students accountable for their actions at home and school make it difficult to have an atmosphere of collaboration and teamwork between the school and home.  It is an essential life skill to guide students at home and in school in order to form appropriate behavior towards others in public.  Certainly, these behaviors include following school rules, home rules, rules of society, and the use of appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication. Students mimic behavior.  Stakeholders must support their student's education, and when they know the student is in the wrong, it is critical to help them understand and accept consequences for his or her behavior.  Accepting the consequences of one's acts is part of an important behavior formation for the child and is an essential component in the learning process of life skills.  Rules and procedures are in place for the safety and educational rights of all learners. Creating dialogue between home and school, and developing the necessary relationships between these two, are important for success.  Children and students will experience greater success when all investors share the same goal and path to achieving that goal. Remember Lions, We Are Achieving Excellence Together!!!

Please post ideas/strategies on building, nurturing and maintaining meaningful relationships between all stakeholders in order to achieve student success.
