Continuing on with our subject of parents getting involved with their child's school, this is a timely article by our friends at Mom's Everyday. Being engaged with our children and their school life can have a huge impact in their learning, growing and just every aspect of their lives. It really is that important! Get involved.

We spend a lot of time getting our kids prepared for a successful experience in school. We send them to preschool, help with homework and sign them up for enriching experiences.
But there's one thing that not all parents do that can be just as important: getting involved in your child's school.
Research shows that communicating with teachers, being involved in the school work, volunteering and just being present at the school as much as you can is important to your child's success.
Parental involvement is also associated with fewer problem behaviors and better social skills
Here's some advice on how to get involved:
First, initiate contact with your child's teacher early in the year. If you pick your child up from school, make it a point to touch base with the teacher occasionally. But don't try to have a meeting in the parking lot.
Ask if there are opportunities to volunteer in the classroom or at school events, and attend those school events whenever possible.
Maintain a consistent homework routine. Check in with your child daily regarding school work and be available to help with homework.
It can be difficult to make homework a priority with busy schedules and sports, but it shouldn't be the last thing you try to cram in at the end of the day.
