A. Parent Participation: Families are viewed as partners and their child's first teacher. Teachers should assist parents with information and resources that could help their children. Parents should have the opportunity to volunteer in the classroom and participate in enrichment opportunities.
Communication should be conducted on a regular basis. Communication between school and home could consist of notebooks/folders, newsletters, conferences, emails, phone calls, etc.
Regular parent involvement is recommended through such activities as orientation, open house, teacher/parent conferences, and ongoing collaboration between parents and school to enhance the learning process.

It is recommended that a safety monitor be appointed on each school bus to board and de-board the bus. School bus drivers should promote a safe and positive environment through appropriate interaction with the students.
