Build Strong Communication with Your Child’s School

FLIP OVER -->
Keep in touch: Make sure the school has your current contact information.

Language Access: If interpreters are not automatically provided, ask your school about interpreters. Parents have a right to have an interpreter or translation services present.

Stay Involved with your Child’s School

FLIP OVER -->
Attend Meetings: Participate in parent-teacher conferences and school events to stay informed about your child’s progress

Volunteer: If possible, volunteer at the school or in your child’s classroom to show your support and involvement.

Connect with Other Parents: Attend PTA meetings, join school councils or committees.

Create a Learning Environment at Home

FLIP OVER -->
Set up a homework and study spot in your home. This could be a box of study materials where your child knows to go to find the materials they need for studying.

Make regular time each week for reading and homework. A regular routine helps a student learn.

Engage in Learning Activities

FLIP OVER -->
Read Together: Spend time reading together in your home language and in English.

Educational Games: Use online resources to make learning fun. Your students’ teachers will share games they use in the classroom. Your public library will also have these games on their computers.

Educational Websites: Check out websites such as Reading Rockets and Colorín Colorado for advice and resources designed for ELL families.

Library Resources: Many public libraries offer free online resources, including e- books and educational programs.

Encourage Language Practice

FLIP OVER -->
Daily Conversations: Talk with your student in your home language and English. Talk about what happened in your days. The more children have back-and-forth conversations with caring adults, the more they learn.

Cultural Stories: Share stories from your home and your childhood with your child. Children love to hear your stories.
