Parent Schedule

• Play with your child and love them.
• Check your child's book-bag for school activities, event flyers, and school forms to be completed and returned. • Review your child's homework.
• Make sure all assignments are completed and written neatly.
• If there are any questions write a note to his/her teacher.
• Read, read, read. Talk, talk, talk. Ask questions, ask questions, ask questions.
• Set aside time to read with your child or have them read to you (elementary).
• Discuss current events (middle/high school).
• Check your child's communication book
• Ask specific questions about your child's school day.
• What did you learn in Math class today?
• What did you play with during recess?

 

• Attend at least one school event, activity or meeting. For example school performances,, Parent Association meetings, and parent workshops.
• Take your child somewhere educational and interactive. Some of these places have programs for children with special needs, museums, camps, libraries, gardens, parks, zoos, aquariums, and New York City Landmarks.

 

 

• Attend IEP reviews-come prepared to talk about your child's academic goals not just their social skills. The IEP process is a joint effort and your involvement in this process is to ensure an appropriate program for your child. This is the plan that will be used in educating your child, so if you have any questions this would be a great time to do so.
• Attend Parent/ Teacher conferences. They are held twice a year and this is a great opportunity to meet with your child's teacher about his/her progress. In the case that the dates of the Parent/ Teacher conferences are not convenient, please do not hesitate to call and make an appointment with your child's teacher to discuss progress. Parent involvement is very important for your child's success.
