Parent ENGAGEMENT

Parent Engagement

Parent Engagement
Parent involvement is a critical component for effective schooling and student achievement. Active and consistent parent engagement with regards to their student’s education generally leads to higher levels of student academic achievement.

Parent/Student/Staff School Agreement
LALA believes students achieve higher levels of success when administrators, teachers, staff, and parents work in collaboration with each other. Your time, talent, and enthusiasm are an integral part of the day-to-day functioning of the school and the overall academic development of your child.  As stated in the Parent/Student/Staff School Agreement, each accepts responsibility for the preparation of each student. This document is part of each student’s enrollment packet and is explained to all new families at the beginning of the school year. Continuing parents and students will sign the agreement at the beginning of each new school year.

LALA believes:
  • Parents are needed to take active and meaningful roles ensuring the success of the school.

  • Parents should be actively engaged in their child’s education and responsible for supporting their child’s learning at home.
  • Parents must support the goals of the school through their voice and are urged to volunteer a minimum of 30 hours per year. However, volunteering is not required.
  • Parents are urged to attend at least 4 parent workshops each year. However, attendance is not required.

Helping Your Child Succeed

Effective and consistent parent participation leads to student success. The following suggestions are to help your child’s academic success:
  • ​Encourage your student to be an active and responsible learner who completes and turns in assignments and homework when they are due and seeks assistance when needed.
  • Ensure that your student arrives to school on time each day and supports school policies such as discipline, safety, proper school attire, textbook care, etc.
  • ​Monitor your student’s overall progress on a regular basis.  Do not wait until progress reports and report cards are issued to find out how your student is doing in school.
  • If your student is struggling with their schoolwork or needs help, speak with his/her advisor and/or teachers and ensure that your student attends tutoring.
  • Parents should be actively engaged in their child’s education and responsible for supporting their child’s learning at home. 
  •  Parents must support the goals of the school through their voice and are urged to volunteer a minimum of 30 hours per year. However, volunteering is not required​.

     8. Support your student’s school by volunteering a minimum of 30 hours each year.


Volunteering
Parent volunteer service hours are earned by directly supporting the school and by supporting your child academically.  Each family is strongly encouraged to volunteer 30 hours per school year. Of the 30 hours, 15 hours should be applied to supporting the school and 15 hours should be applied to supporting your child academically.  Please note that, while volunteering is not required, LALA encourages all parents to follow these guidelines to support the success of their child.

How to Volunteer
Feel free to call the school at the beginning of the school year or anytime thereafter to volunteer. Prior to an initial volunteer assignment, volunteers must submit a certificate showing that, within the past sixty (60) days, the volunteer submitted to a Tuberculosis (“TB”) risk assessment and, if TB risk factors were identified, was examined and found to be free of infectious TB. If no risk factors are identified, an examination is not required. Volunteers who do not have any risk factors for exposure to TB or who test negative for TB shall thereafter be required to take a TB test every (4) four years. The cost of this TB clearance will be paid by the volunteer.
If you need more information, please contact the Parent Outreach Coordinator.  A copy of the full Classroom and School Volunteer, Visitor, and Removal Policy shall be available free of charge in the Main Office.
