Family, School, and Community Partnerships
Families, schools, and communities collaborate to set goals and support student learning.
Schools, families, students, and communities are partners in a MTSS. They work together to set learning goals and understand needs. Schools provide timely updates on student learning goals, interventions, supports, and progress.
- By being your child’s advocate – you are an important part of the decision-making process. Provide insight to teachers about your child’s learning and development to inform next steps.
- Send an email, call, or communicate with your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
- Ask your child about how they feel successful at school and celebrate those moments.
- Ask your child’s teacher to volunteer, visit your child’s classroom, or how you might support the school community.
- Offer opportunities to share about your family’s culture and background with your child’s teacher or class.
- Does my child have friends at school?
- Does my child have a trusted adult at school that they talk to or meet with?
- Is my child currently receiving intervention for anything?
- What research-based practices/programs are used as part of your instruction?
- What are my child’s strengths in the classroom?
- What would you like to know about how I support my child at home with learning and behavior?
- What are some things I can do at home to help my child be successful?
- How might I help support decisions being made about my child?
