How Parents can Help With Discipline
Parents take an interest in all aspects of the student’s life in school or away from school. Each parent is responsible for the student’s behavior in school, and is asked to work cooperatively with the school staff to maintain good relationships. Parents are asked to help in the following ways:
- To take initiative in learning school rules for good behavior and to help the school in making clear to the student the behavior expected of the student
- To communicate with school personnel to be sure the student is adjusting to school regulations and maintaining acceptable behavior
- To take every opportunity to visit the school, to talk with school personnel, and to get firsthand information concerning the student’s progress in each area of his or her school life
- To respond promptly to the school’s request for parent/staff conferences, and to examine all details of any problem or situation in which the student is concerned
- To exchange telephone numbers with the staff members for quick assistance with problems or questions
- To assist the school in deciding and reinforcing suggested remedies to identified problems.
