AN ESSENTIAL CHECKLIST

School safety is everyone's business. When investigating your school of choice, can you answer YES to the following questions?

Does the school appear to be clean and hazard-free?

Does the school have a safety coordinator who is responsible for maintaining a safe and healthy environment?

Does the school have a "safe" way for students to report a conflict, crime, or crisis (especially if another student might be involved)?

Does the school have a crisis prevention plan in place?

Does the school have procedures in place to respond quickly when a crisis situation does occur? Has the school informed parents, teachers, students, and the community as to what these procedures are?

Does the school have a fair and consistent discipline procedure?

Does the school have counselors and psychologists available to students in need?

Does the school involve the community, teachers, students, staff, and parents in these safety efforts?

Investigating the answers to these questions will give you a better understanding of your child's school.

If the majority of your answers fall in a certain category, your parental level of involvement is stated below.

(a) Category: Your contribution is much needed in your child's life and in his classroom. Talk to your child during meals everyday. Read with your child. Take time to listen to your child. Also, contact your child's teacher and find out if he/she needs any practical items from your home. You can also offer to help out with simple tasks. Remember, every bit of your help can go a long way.

(b) Category: The school definitely needs parents like you. Your innovation in helping out at home or at school is more than welcome. You can start getting involved by not only calling your child's teacher for practical ways to help in the classroom, you can also call the school office or the parent/teacher organization (example: PTA) to find out how you can volunteer in upcoming school events. Jot down the dates and times of the set meetings and plan on attending them. You will be put to work in no time and will start feeling the fulfillment of being able to make a difference.

(c) Category: Your great interest in curriculum, activities, fundraising and school regulations can quickly put you to work. The school needs more people like you. Your personality invites you to work alongside key board members and administrators. You will enjoy contributing your time and ideas at this level. Some of the work involved here is hard, but also very rewarding.

(d) Category: Your bold and zealous personality and your vast knowledge in the school issues, regulations, standards and legalities can be put to use here. Your ability to become a public speaker is a unique aspect and many parents, administrators, school board and state board members will look forward to working side by side with you. You will make a great difference. It is such hard work but every bit of it is worth it.

Many parents hesitate to get involved in this vital partnership. Some of them think that they are not qualified to be in this crucial relationship due to their lack of education, economic standing and their inability to communicate due to language barriers. What all parents should know is that these factors aren't as critical as the first rule of thumb in an educational partnership: Parental involvement begins at home.

FIND THE BEST SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD!

Finding the best school for your child takes an immense amount of time, work, persistence and dedication. But most of all it takes knowledge. After you have acquired the knowledge, you have to apply it.

Your child's education is very important-important enough for you as a parent to take the time to know your school options. In searching for a school or program it is hard to know what questions to ask, and if they are the right ones. Many parents feel overwhelmed at the amount of information that is given to them. Too much information is also not good, since it makes it even that much harder to make a decision. The one thing that you always must focus on is your child. Do not make a decision because of peer pressure, the latest "cutting edge" program or out of fear (you fear that your child will be missing out if you don't act quickly). Make your decision based on your child's needs. Below are some points to consider when looking for the best school for your child.

What are the different programs the school can offer your child? 
Art? Music? Theatre? Technology?

What are some of the after school activities available in the school? Tutoring? Enrichment Activities? Parental Groups?

Is the school warm and friendly? Are the staff members attentive to you and your concerns? Do they take the time to answer all of your questions?

Is the school well maintained? Are the school grounds regularly tended and nicely kept? Is the school clean, nicely painted?

Do the students in the school understand discipline? Do they behave orderly or are the hallways full of loud talking, screaming and chaos that can disrupt learning?

Will the school be appropriate for your child's learning style(s)?
Quality schools will always stand the test of time. A decision that is made after you have considered what is in your child's best interest is the right way to go.
