FAQ: How can I engage parents in our program? PDF Print E-mail
  • Hold an Open House while classes are in session. Parents can take this opportunity to sit in on their teen's classes. Give them a basic questionnaire about the class and teacher so you can acquire feedback. You may wish to have parents observe for one class and then bring them together for a presentation for the second hour, on a topic such as what is new and exciting at your school, what is new in high school supplementary education, informing them of school requirements or curriculum, or bringing in a guest speaker - the possibilities are endless.
