Supporting Your Child’s Learning at Home
We’re so glad you’re part of our school community! Supporting your child’s learning at home makes a big difference in their success and confidence at school.
Be sure to explore the resources listed on the grade level pages to the right—they’re designed to help you support learning at home in fun and meaningful ways. If you ever have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher. We’re here for you and excited to partner with you every step of the way!
Here are some simple ways you can help:
Stay Connected with Teachers
- Keep in touch by checking your email, our school website, and parent portals for updates.
- If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher. We’re here to partner with you!
Speak the Same Language
- Using the same words and phrases your child hears at school helps them make connections and feel confident.
- Ask your teacher about key terms your child is learning — for example, math words like sum or difference, or reading terms like main idea or context clues — and try using them in conversations.
Create a Routine
- Help your child set aside a quiet, distraction-free time and place to do homework and practice skills.
- A consistent routine helps build good study habits and reduces stress.
Encourage Effort and Growth
- Praise your child’s hard work and willingness to try new things. Say things like, “I’m proud of how hard you worked!” or “Mistakes help us learn and grow.”
- This positive mindset motivates continued learning.
Talk About Learning
- Ask your child open-ended questions about their school day. For example:
- “What was the most interesting thing you learned today?”
- “Can you explain how you solved that problem?”
- Sharing your own stories about learning also makes school feel more relevant.
Use Helpful Resources
- Use the resources on this page to support your child's learning.
- Hands-on activities like cooking, building, or exploring nature also make learning fun and meaningful.
Model a Positive Attitude
- Show excitement about learning and respect for school. When children see adults value education, they are more likely to feel the same.
Support Organization and Planning
- Help your child use planners or checklists to keep track of homework and projects. Teaching time management skills now sets them up for success later.
