A high five requires two people, and so does a strong partnership between home and school. We are highlighting simple ways to strengthen that partnership and set your student up for success.

This week's High 5 For Parents - Check Backpacks.

Families can help create a safe, focused learning environment by taking a few minutes to check their child's backpack each day. Backpacks should contain the school supplies, assignments, and personal items students need for learning - and nothing that could distract from or disrupt the school day.

As we close out the week, a High 5 for Parents reminder about attendance - every day counts!

Regular attendance gives students something that cannot be completely recreated later: daily instruction, relationships with teachers, connections with friends, classroom discussions and the confidence that comes from being part of their school community.

Help your child get to school every day, on time, and ready to succeed.
