Stand Up for Your Child

For families

If you have concerns about your child's progress or school experience, speak up! You know your child better than anyone else. Here are some simple things you can do to be involved.

  • Develop a close working relationship with your child's teachers and principal.

    Stay in touch between report card periods.

  • Save important test results.

    Keep class work samples, homework examples, and other school communications that show how your child usually performs.

  • Ask for help!

    If you suspect a problem, talk with your child's teacher. If you still have concerns, talk with the principal, reading specialist, or special education teacher. You have the right to ask questions and to receive answers to the questions you ask. Also, do not hesitate to seek advice outside of the school system.
