    Top 10 Things Teachers Wish Parents Would Do

    Brought to you by the

    National PTA

    1. Be involved. Parent involvement helps students learn, improves schools, and helps teachers work with you to help you child succeed.

    2. Provide resources at home for learning. Utilize your local library, and have books and magazines available in your home. Read with your children each day.

    3. Set a good example. Show your children by your own actions that you believe reading is both enjoyable and useful. Monitor television viewing and the use of videos and game systems.

    4. Encourage Students to do their best in school. Show your children that you believe education is important and that you want them to do their best.

    5. Value education and seek a balance between schoolwork and outside activities. Emphasize your children's progress in developing the knowledge and skills they need to be successful both in school and in life.

    6. Recognize factors that take a toll on students' classroom performance:

    * Consider the possible negative effects of long hours at after-school jobs or in extracurricular activities. Work with your children to help them maintain a balance between school responsibilities and outside commitments.

    7. Support school rules and goals. Take care not undermine school rules, discipline, or goals.

    8. Use pressure positively. Encourage children to do their best, but don't pressure them by setting goals too high or by scheduling too many activities.

    9. Call teachers early if you think there is a problem while there is still time to solve it. Don't wait for teachers to call you.

    10. Accept your responsibility as parents. Don't expect the school and teachers to take over your obligations as parents. Teach children self-discipline and respect for others at home -- don't rely on teachers and schools to teach these basic behaviors and attitudes.

    New Phone Message System

    Will Provide Important Information To Parents

     

    -District will test new phone system Thursday, December 15, 2011

     

            On Thursday, December 15, beginning at 6 pm, the district will send a test phone message to all parents who have a student enrolled in the Dearborn Public Schools. The new phone messaging system is capable of sending thousands of calls in a matter of only a few minutes. The system will call the number that parents provided in the fall when they completed emergency card information for their student. Parents with more than one child enrolled in the district should only receive one call. Caller ID information will vary depending on the type of answering machine found in the home or the company providing cell phone service but most likely will show up as “Dearborn Public Schools” or “827-3000.”

     

                The district is using TeleParent, a web-based notification system that allows for easy communication with parents, students, and staff.  TeleParent allows the district to quickly and easily create custom messages and send those messages to designated groups or to the entire district. Messages can be sent in both English and Arabic. The high schools and some middle schools are already using this system to notify parents about student absences and lunch account balances. The goal is to have all schools using the system.  

     

    When schools are closed due to severe weather, if there is an emergency situation, or there is a need to remind people about a district event, the phone messaging system will be used to notify staff and parents. The district will also continue to post information on the district web-site, cable channel, facebook, twitter, and notify all local radio and television stations.

     

    This system will provide the district with an excellent communication tool that can be used to keep parents informed about general events or, in that rare circumstance, an emergency situation.

    Helpful Tips and Important Notices

    Attached is the official Michigan resolution, but this event is nationally recognized – not just Michigan.

    ,

     It is a great time to remind students about bus safety:

    1. Be on time to your bus stop – 5 minutes early is best.
    2. Wait for the bus in a safe spot – not in the street.  Respect the property where you wait.
    3. Don’t run to the bus.  Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and the driver opens the door.
    4. Never run after a school bus – there are too many blind spots around a school bus.
    5. Use the handrail.
    6. Be careful not to wear clothing with long drawstrings.
    7. On the bus - stay seated, talk quietly, pack in your lap, and hands to yourself.
    8. Never put anything out a school bus window.
    9. Never play with emergency equipment, including windows and doors.
    10. Getting off the bus – wait for the bus to come to a complete stop, wait your turn, and no pushing.
    11. Off the bus – move away from the bus, stay in clear view, and never reach under the bus to retrieve anything.
    12. If you have a question or problem please speak with the bus driver.
    13. Be smart, be alert, and be safe.
