Can we count parents helping children with homework as part of their three hour promise?
This is the most common question that we are asked. What to count and should you count things from home or just from school? Well, here’s what we think: Yes, count parent involvement from home. Whether a parent is doing something for a teacher or helping their child with math facts or reading, simply count it! Why only encourage volunteerism IN the school. Challenge parents to be involved from home, too. The kids will surely benefit and your school likely will, also. The point of parent involvement is to help improve the educational experience of the child, while connecting the parent with the school, child, and community.
