October is "Parent Engagement"
Month
October has been designated as “Parent Engagement
Month” in Oklahoma. It is a time to celebrate the important
role parents play in their children's education. When schools
work together with families to support learning, children are
inclined to succeed not just in school, but throughout life.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education recognizes the
vital roles that schools and families play throughout a child's
educational career. To help parents and families stay involved in
education, we want to share with you a few simple ways to stay
engaged.
Establish a daily family routine.
Monitor out-of-school activities.
Model the value of learning, self-discipline, and hard
work.
Express high but realistic expectations for achievement.
Encourage children's development/ progress in school.
Encourage reading, writing, and discussions among family
