National Parent Involvement Day
When:Â Thursday, Nov. 19
Where:Â Interview opportunities available all day; b-roll/photo ops in evening at Dexter Elementary, 5:30-7 p.m.
Background: Parents are their children’s first teacher – and even after kids go to school, parents still play a very important role. Patricia Weinzapfel, executive director of family engagement and community schools, says that one of the best ways parents can help their children at school is to be aware of how they are doing, so that they can encourage their child. EVSC’s RDS Parent Access provides an online mechanism for families to see their child’s grades, their discipline history, their attendance, and more!
Dexter Elementary is having a Family Literacy and Health Night on Thursday, and will be signing parents up for RDS Parent Access. They will also be helping parents understand how to use the system and how they can support learning at home.
Call 812-435-0206 to arrange a time for an interview, or to let us know you want to cover the event at Dexter in the evening. Interviews will be available throughout the day, as well as at the event.
