The document summarizes discussions from a parent communications meeting that covered several topics:
1) The textbook adoption process which allows public feedback on textbooks being considered for adoption by the state department of education. Social studies textbooks for grades 6-12 were available for review.
2) The zoning plan for the upcoming school year, which will address overcapacity issues by moving 5th grade from Rossview Elementary to Rossview Middle and 3rd grade from St. Bethlehem Elementary to Burt School, rather than changing zone lines due to unknown future growth.
3) The substitute teacher staffing program will be brought back in-house starting in August 2014 to save the district over $600,000 in the first two years.

The document summarizes the discussions that took place at the January 10, 2013 Monthly Parent Communications Meeting. The following key points were made:
1) The school system's curriculum director discussed the implementation of new Common Core standards and provided resources for parents.
2) There was discussion about the criteria for developing the school calendar, including state requirements and preferences for exams before winter break.
3) Parent representatives were given boxes to collect feedback to the monthly question in their schools.
4) A recent parent survey showed low ratings for schools responding to different learning styles, and reasons for this were discussed.
5) The superintendent provided an update on security practices and increased law enforcement presence in schools.
Effective communication between parents and teachers is important for student success. When schools keep parents informed about changes and curriculum, and parents communicate their child's needs to teachers, students benefit. Several factors are necessary for a good parent-teacher relationship, including regular communication, developing trust, having empathy for all parties, and addressing concerns respectfully. National organizations provide standards to help schools improve parent involvement through communication, parenting education, including parents in school decisions, and collaborating with the community.
The document discusses the debate around year-round schooling versus the traditional summer break schedule. While year-round schooling may help students retain information better and reduce the summer learning loss, it could increase workload for teachers and interfere with student jobs and family vacations during the summer. There are arguments on both sides, and more research is still needed to determine the overall impacts.

Parents thoroughly research schools, asking questions about community, academics, and long-term fit. They are interested in factors like sense of community, parental involvement, academic curriculum, standardized test scores, the principal's experience and approachability, feeder high schools, unique programs, and shadowing in classrooms. Researching multiple schools by speaking to parents, staff, and attending events helps families find the best fit for their children's education and future.
The members request that Principal Kathleen Tracy of Duffy Elementary School be placed on paid administrative leave or given an alternative assignment due to parent complaints and a petition calling for her resignation. They also request a special Board of Education meeting by August 3rd to receive testimony on the issues, assess policies, and improve transparency. The integrity of the school depends on implementing strong policies to address grievances and avoid future situations.
Accommodating parental participation in managing schoolAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on parental involvement in school management in Gorontalo, Indonesia. The study found that parental involvement is important for student achievement but that interaction between parents and teachers is currently low. Parents receive little information about their children's performance and are only involved for financial reasons. The study recommends increasing communication between parents and teachers through technology, ensuring parents receive regular updates on their children's progress, and involving parents more in school decision-making to improve student outcomes.
Due to Covid 19, and the resultant Governor's Executive Orders regarding "Shelter In Place" all Illinois schools have had to change or alter their school years and methods of assessing student grades. This letter from the ISBE Director is the latest information for Illinois educators to go by.

Issue 19 Do American Students Need More Time in School
Introduction
I read the “Healthier Testing Made Easy” article by Grant Wiggins and decided to focus on a current issue of extending school days. The reason for choosing this issue is to provide ideas and suggestions on ways to extended school days without affecting people’s other commitments in their lives. The review on “Healthier Testing Made Easy” by Grant Wiggins enhances my focus on how this current issue will affect me in the work setting in schools. It is very important to know this current issue will be slightly bad for my work setting. The political view is that there is a huge debate on extended school days. The emotional view is there are extended school days can affect everyone’s performance in schools in emotionally. The educational view is that everyone must be aware of an issue for extended school days. Therefore, this paper will analyze my work setting regarding this issue. This paper will identify the political, emotional and educational ramifications of this issue. I will also explain how this issue affects me personally and professionally in the work setting. Finally, this paper will provide a conclusion on the refl.
Geert Driessen, Frederik Smit & Peter Sleegers (2005). Parental Involvement ...Frederik Smit
Parental involvement is seen as an important strategy for the advancement of the quality of education. The ultimate objective of this is to expand the social and cognitive capacities of pupils. In addition, special attention is paid to the children of low-educated and ethnic minority parents. Various forms of both parental and school-initiated involvement are examined. On the one hand, the connections between a number of characteristics of parents and schools such as the social and ethnic background of the parents and the composition of the school population will be examined. On the other hand, the connections between a number of outcome measures such as the language and mathematics skills of the pupils will be examined. Data will be drawn from the large-scale Dutch PRIMA (primary education) cohort study, which contains information on more than 500 schools and 12,000 pupils in the last year of primary school and their parents. An important finding is that predominantly schools with numerous minority pupils appear to provide a considerable amount of extra effort with respect to parental involvement, but that a direct effect of such involvement cannot be demonstrated.

This document discusses parental involvement in education and its relationship to student achievement. It summarizes research showing that increased parental involvement is positively associated with improved cognitive and social outcomes for students. However, the level and forms of parental involvement vary depending on socioeconomic status and ethnicity, with disadvantaged groups showing less involvement. Schools aim to increase involvement among these groups to help improve their students' achievement and school experience. The document examines different types of parental involvement and initiatives to strengthen partnerships between schools, parents, and communities.
The document discusses potential changes and improvements to the future of education. It suggests that pre-kindergarten should be required to better prepare students. It also proposes a standardized structure of elementary, middle, and high school across all school districts. Additionally, it emphasizes embracing creativity in schools, using technology in the classroom, and teachers getting to know their students on a personal level to improve the education experience. The future of education, according to the document, should focus on developing students' skills and desire to solve problems in the world.

CHAPTER 11 Communicating with Families
Suzanne Clouzeau/Pearson
Chapter Objectives
As a result of reading this chapter, you will be able to:
1.Discuss characteristics of family-professional partnerships that promote children’s development and learning.
2.Explain strategies for establishing and maintaining family-professional partnerships that benefit children.
3.Describe strategies for conducting effective parent conferences.
4.Discuss the roles of families in screening and assessment.
Parents are children’s first and most important teacher. As such, they have a critical role in their child’s development and learning. Teachers, administrators, and other early childhood providers understand that children’s success as learners depends on parents as well as professionals. The importance of having parents as partners in early childhood settings is essential to quality care and education (Dunst & Trivette, 2012; Schmidt & Matthews, 2013; Turnbull et al., 2006). Today’s children experience a variety of family relationships. Some children live with a single parent or with grandparents. Children may live in blended families where both parents had previous marriages and children from the first and second marriages now live together as one family. Other children live in households with same-sex parents. Still others may live in households that include adults who function as caretakers but are not related. Therefore, the term families should acknowledge the expanded roles of parenting to include any persons that function as family in their daily lives. Throughout this book, information related to family partnerships during screening and assessment processes has been discussed. This chapter will be devoted to how professionals can engage in meaningful partnerships with adults who serve in parenting roles for children, particularly during the assessment process. Strategies for communicating with families about children’s progress will be discussed, including planning and how to conduct effective family conferences.
Family-Professional Partnerships that Promote Children’s Development and Learning
Parents have always actively participated in early-childhood settings such as child-care centers and schools. When the first author’s father was an elementary school student in the early 20th century in Austin, Texas, mothers took turns going to the school to prepare lunch for the children. Traditionally, parents helped with school parties and volunteered in the classroom. Parent–teacher organizations raised money to secure needed books, equipment, and other materials that were not in the school budget.
Today, the idea of a partnership with parents goes beyond helping with school programs toward empowering and engaging f ...

The Brookside School District faces issues with overcrowding at Park Elementary School and maintaining a racially diverse student population under state law. The superintendent proposes adjusting attendance boundaries to relieve overcrowding while complying with desegregation guidelines. However, this plan would move 50 students and disrupt their education. The board president instead wants to move students between two nearby schools to avoid disruption. The board ultimately votes in favor of the superintendent's plan due to pressure from state officials and parents.

Extended Learning Opportunities at Grant Beacon Middle SchoolMagana Alex
Grant Beacon Middle School (GBMS) in Denver serves a student population that does not match the surrounding middle-class neighborhood, with over 85% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Despite this, GBMS has achieved high academic growth and performance on standardized tests, becoming one of the highest performing schools in Denver. This success is attributed to the school's innovation plan developed in 2011, which included lengthening the school day to add an hour of enrichment courses led by teachers and community partners in areas like arts, athletics, and STEM. The plan was created through extensive input from teachers, parents, and community members.

1. Prolonged Standoff: Portland
Teachers’ Strike Casts Shadow
over Thanksgiving
S
H
A

As the Thanksgiving weekend draws near, the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) and Portland Public
Schools (PPS) find themselves in a protracted deadlock with no resolution in sight. Despite a recent
overnight bargaining session that resulted in an agreement on 17 contract articles, a pivotal issue remains
unresolved, casting a pall over the holiday season.
The Board of Education for PPS released a statement after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, addressing the Portland
community and acknowledging the strain caused by the strike and the closure of schools, particularly
during the upcoming holiday weekend. The crux of the matter revolves around the role parents should play
in classroom placement decisions for students who are not their own.
Revised Proposal: To Incorporate Parent Voices on School-Wide
Class Size Issues
According to the board’s statement, a revised proposal was sent to PAT on Tuesday following the union’s
rejection of the initial proposal on Monday. The revised proposal aims to incorporate parent voices on
2. school-wide class size issues while leaving decisions about individual students to be made by their parents,
along with each school’s professional administrators and educators.
Expressing disappointment, the board stated, “Tonight, we were disappointed to receive an incomplete
proposal from PAT that also did not respond to either of our proposals on class size committees. We know
the language in this contract matters so that we can best serve our students. We urge PAT to respond to
these remaining issues quickly so we can get our children back into school on Monday.”
Fostering a Sense of Unity
As of 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, PAT had not issued a public statement or press comment. However, a
video posted on Instagram conveyed a message of resilience, stating, “Despite everything, you woke and
chose joy.” The video emphasizes the strength of the community and the collective pursuit of great public
schools accessible to all students, fostering a sense of unity in the face of the ongoing labor dispute.
Still no deal between Portland teachers union and district ahead of
Thanksgiving holiday
The Portland school board has scheduled three executive sessions on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
afternoons, specifically focusing on labor negotiations. The aim is to find a resolution before the start of
the new school week.
This extended impasse between PAT and PPS raises concerns about the prolonged closure of schools,
disrupting the education of countless students and causing significant challenges for parents and guardians.
The strike’s timing, just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, amplifies the impact on families, adding stress
and uncertainty during what should be a time of celebration and togetherness.
The Board Seeks to Balance the Needs of Students, Parents, and
Educators
The unresolved dispute also underscores the complex nature of labor negotiations in the education sector.
As the board seeks to balance the needs of students, parents, and educators, finding common ground
becomes increasingly crucial. The focus on class size committees and the role of parents in decision-
making reflects broader conversations about the distribution of authority and responsibilities within the
education system.
As the community awaits updates and potential resolutions, the hope remains that both parties can reach an
agreement that not only addresses the immediate concerns but also sets a precedent for constructive
collaboration in the future. The stakes are high, with the education and well-being of students hanging in
the balance, making the Thanksgiving weekend a time of both reflection and anticipation for the Portland
community.
