Parents+and+Guardians

A new program, called “Arts in the Afternoon,” has begun at the Learning Center. Effective participation of your children in this new program will involve many people and partners, but you, the parents and guardians of the students are the most important partners for achieving success. Parent and guardian participation is critical to the program, so get involved in your child’s education and have some fun along the way dancing, singing and performing. Become a parent volunteer to assist at the learning center implementing programs. Parent volunteers will help students daily with activities, chaperone students during field trips to professional performances, and provide important role models from the community. Attend workshops for parents, families and children which will highlight how to stimulate and enhance learning activities in the home. It is important for students to extend their learning activities into the home. These workshops will provide you with ways to assist your children in their education, while supporting their teachers in the schools. Learning can be a fun family activity that will provide you and your children with more time together. Join the parent committee to provide ongoing advice to the director and partners, and provide direct linkages to participating families. Help shape the program by joining the parent committee. We want your recommendations, ideas and advice on how to best serve your children, so join the parent committee to strengthen the program and strengthen your community through arts education. A kick-off meeting for parent/guardian participation ** will be held on __February 27, 2008 at 5:30PM at the Windham Heights Learning Center.__. Come learn more about the program and how you can become a parent volunteer or join the parent committee. On-site staff will provide baby-sitting services during the meeting. Refreshments will be served.
