If a student can see a parent or guardian involved in the school and interacting with the staff, this shows the student that the family believes education is important. If a student can interact with a member of the staff or an administrator out-and-about ... out of the classroom, in the halls and out in the community ... this shows that the educator cares about the student beyond the confines of schoolhouse walls. Both are important. This contact information is here for you. Keep the three-way communication lines open and working ... student, school and family.
