A Place for Parents
As we begin another school year, I would like to encourage you to be active in your child's education. Even though we encourage children of this age to become more independent, it is still important for them to know you are there for them if they need you. Be involved. Ask your child about their day. Ask to see their homework, their tests, their text books. It will be your job to find out what they enjoy doing in school. Together we will have an awesome year!
Unity
I dreamed I stood in a studio
and watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used
was a young child's mind
and they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher;
the tools she used were books
and music and art;
One was a parent with a
guiding hand and a
gentle loving heart.
And when at last their work
was done, they were proud of
what they had wrought.
For the things they had worked
into the child could never be
sold or bought.
And each agreed she would
have failed if she had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood
the school, and behind the
teacher stood the home.
--By Ray A Lingenfelter,
Elementary Principal
