Supe's On: Being part of your child’s education

Parental engagement and involvement in a child’s education is critical for their success. Research demonstrates that students with an engaged adult in their education have much higher graduation rates, academically perform better, and have fewer behavioral issues at school. The Brandon Valley School District will be hosting parent-teacher Conferences on the following dates:

• Monday, March 16 - Elementary buildings / Brandon Valley High School 

• Tuesday, March 17 - Brandon Valley Intermediate School / Middle School 

We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to attend conferences and be actively engaged in your child’s education. I would like to challenge you to: Attend - Engage - Discuss. Attend conferences. Engage with your child’s teacher(s). Discuss what was shared at conferences with your child. Meaningful engagement and follow-up has the power to propel a child to new levels of academic success.

Additional active participation strategies parents and guardians can utilize to create a home environment that encourages learning may include:

• Inquire daily about your child’s school day

• Assist your child with homework

• Discuss books or read together

• Volunteer at school

No matter the strategies utilized, communicating the importance of an education to our children is essential as together we promote an outstanding educational experience for our children.

I want to extend special congratulations to our BVHS wrestling team on an outstanding season and state tournament!  

Go Lynx!
