Parents who are teachers and teachers who are parents are one in the same. We celebrate two important occasions culminating in a much-deserved three-day weekend.
Father’s Day is a holiday honoring fatherhood and parental bonds as well as the influence of fathers in society. Juneteenth (National Independence Day) is a federal and state holiday in several states. It is a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
As this school year comes to a close and you exit the school parking lot, know that TG4S is your resource, your secret weapon that is your tool to implement when increased parent involvement can have a positive impact.
And also create an environment where parents can positively impact their child’s future and make a difference. That is what Fathers Day and Juneteenth seek to celebrate and recognize.
Contrary to popular belief, parents have always wanted to get involved in their child’s school, and schools have created parent and teacher conferences or similar variations that have become somewhat outdated and not effective in sustaining parent involvement.
