Stonewall Tell ES Parents and Guardians,
Thank you parents for supporting the PTA sponsored Family Skate Night on Friday.
We believe that a strong partnership between families and the school is essential for supporting our students' growth and success. Here are some tips to help you collaborate effectively with us:
Stay Informed: Keep up with school events, newsletters, and announcements. Being informed about what’s happening can help you engage more meaningfully with your child’s education.
Communicate Openly: Don’t hesitate to reach out to teachers or school staff with any questions or concerns. Open communication helps us address any issues promptly.
Attend School Events: Participate in parent-teacher conferences, workshops, and school events. Your presence shows support and reinforces the importance of education to your child.
Volunteer: Consider volunteering for school activities or committees. This involvement not only helps the school but also models community engagement for your child. Contact Ms. Rice today! RICEL@Fultonschools.org
Encourage Responsibility: Support your child in taking ownership of their education. Discuss their goals and progress, and encourage them to communicate with teachers about their learning.
Foster a Positive Attitude: Encourage your child to view challenges as opportunities for growth. A positive mindset can greatly influence their learning experience.
Support Homework and Study Habits: Create a conducive environment at home for homework and study, and help your child develop effective study habits.
Utilize Resources: Take advantage of school resources including: Scana HW Center and Extended Learning, CHRIS 180 counseling services, and Title 1 educational workshops. These can provide additional support for your child.
Engage in Learning Together: Show interest in what your child is learning. Ask them about their school day, and engage in discussions about their subjects and projects. Ask them to share their progress in iReady Reading and Math.
By working together, we can create a supportive and enriching environment for our students. Thank you for your continued partnership!
Sincerely,
Nikki R. Porter, Ed. S.
