Superintendent introducing the Parent Notebook™ Bulletins

listradius

  • "It's empowering to see parents bring their notebooks to parent-teacher conferences . . . they are now prepared to meet with teachers and are ready to take full advantage of the parent-teacher conference."

    — Middle School Principal

  • "We “LOVE” the Parent Notebooks and are making them a part of the way we do business. It makes sharing the information with our parents easy. Having everything in Spanish and English too is a HUGH help . . . I’m able to conduct parent training to a bilingual group simultaneously. Teachers are also seeing how this information helps reinforce their efforts in the classroom."

    — Title I Coordinator, High School

  • "I am so happy the district had the parent classes and the notebooks. The notebook reminds me of what I can do to help my son at home (translated from Spanish.)"

    — Parent Middle School

  • "The information is so easy to understand . . I’d like to have parent notebooks for every parent in our school."

    — Parent Center Coordinator, Elementary School

  • "It’s hard for all parents to participate in parent education classes. So we try to meet parents where they are and so we give out parent “tip” cards for parents to support their son or daughter at home."

    — Principal, Elementary School

  • "These bulletins are perfect . . . they’re easy to understand and each page covers only one topic . . . it’s great for busy parents and keeps them informed . . it’s the type of information that I would have liked to put together, but now I don’t have to . . . it’s already done and translated into Spanish too."

    — Principal,  Elementary School
