The
Jefferson County School District recognizes that a
student’s education is a joint responsibility shared by
schools and parents as part of the larger community, and
that these participants directly impact learning.
The District believes that schools must, in cooperation
with their constituencies, create an atmosphere of
collaboration, mutual acceptance, and commonality of
goals in order to foster the educational success of all
children.
What may seem to be a subject disconnected from school
curriculum,
activities, and the education of students, the topic of
parenting is a
vital component of student success. In contrast to the
fact that
parents were the child's first teachers, countless
surveys of parents
reveal that many anxieties exist, from feeling
inadequate to assist with
homework to issues dealing with drugs and inappropriate
behavior.
Schools can play a significant role in ensuring that
parenting programs,
workshops on dealing with student issues, and engagement
of parents in supporting strong student skill
development are emphasized within the community.
