Family Engagement
Family engagement is a key strategy of The 番茄影视 Promise because the research is clear. Your involvement in your child鈥檚 education matters. Students whose families are engaged in their school lives attend class more regularly, achieve at higher levels, and generally have better behavior both at home and at school.
What is family engagement? It is a term for the ongoing reciprocal partnership between families and educators that supports student achievement. A quality approach to family engagement encourages and supports two-way communication about student progress and performance to build a strong home-to-school connection.
番茄影视 Public Schools has adopted a tiered approach to elementary and middle school family engagement, where a baseline of ongoing communication about student performance is shared with all families and more intensive communication strategies are put into place for students and families as needed.
