FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
Family involvement with the schools is
necessary to develop shared educational goals,
and to have a positive effect on student
learning. Families are encouraged to participate
in decision making processes through district
committees, PTAs, school improvement teams, and
other committees deliberating on matters of
interest to students and families. Families are
also encouraged to visit or observe their
child’s classroom or review curriculum and
classroom materials without interfering with the
rights of other children or families. District
teachers and administrators will continuously
strive to enhance family involvement through
effective home/school communications, by
encouraging family participation in classroom
activities, and by providing additional
opportunities for families to learn about
educational issues and the Northville Public
Schools.
The Board encourages and expects that parents
and guardians will support the education of
their child(ren) by:
- Helping children to value education and
understand individual responsibility
- Emphasizing the importance of
attendance, completion of work and
compliance with rules of conduct.
- Providing positive home conditions that
support learning and appropriate behavior.
- Volunteering in the school and for
school/district committees.
- Learning school policies and procedures.
- Monitoring homework and school-related
activities.
- Serving as an advocate for their child’s
educational needs.
- Contacting teachers and/or
administrators and effectively communicating
concerns, questions, or suggestions. The
Superintendent will develop procedures and
practices for the district, which will
encourage family participation in classroom,
school, and district activities.
