Parents and Schools Working TogetherCommunication
Communication not just with your school, but with your student Sit and talk with your student “I don’t have any” Stress the importance of school, attending, and
completing work. Lead by example. As noted in the pyramid, the student should be your
first contact regarding grades, or any concerns. If there is an issue, encourage them to go to their teacher to talk about it.
