What I believe about my students’ parents…
•I believe parents love their children and want the very best for them.•I believe, regarding school, some parents may not know how to support their child.•I believe all parents have the capacity and capability to help and support their children.•I believe all parents need to start on the same playing field.•I believe all information given to parents must be comprehensible and explicit.
