MurrE-QUOTE:

"Let peace begin with me,
let this be the moment now.
With every step I take,
let this be my solemn vow,

To take each moment
and live each moment,
in peace, eternally.

Let there be Peace on Earth,
and let it begin with me.”

– Words and Music by Jill Jackson
and Sy Miller, circa 1955

The greatest single resource available to every parent is the ability to be able to ask questions and find out everything that you can about your child’s education.

At Parent Teacher Conferences be fully engaged with the teacher and find out about his programs and classroom; communicate with the school secretaries; get to know your child’s principal and be sure the principal knows your child; and check backpacks carefully for school notes and messages. Watch for articles in your local newspaper, check the district website, be aware of school functions and attend as many as your family’s schedule permits.

Your attitude is the most critical influence in your child’s life during these important school years. All of the educational and legislative mandates in the world will never have the impact that your own involvement and concern will have on the future of your child. It really doesn’t matter what time it is in the school year, one of the most important things that you can do for your student is to be involved in her education however possible. It’s the best way to show your children how important a good education is to you… and them!
