Parent involvement in the educational
process is critical at the middle school level. The transition
from elementary school to the middle grades would be difficult
without the inclusion of the support of the student's parent
and family.
At our school parents are invited to a nighttime orientation
while their students are still in our feeder elementary schools.
El Dorado has an active Parent-Faculty Club that sponsors many
school activities throughout the academic year. Parents have
input into the development of school policies.
Parents are invited to volunteer in many capacities, such as
campus noon supervisors, dance chaperones and evening socials.
The school newsletter is one way that parents stay informed
about upcoming events. Teachers also communicate with parents
via the school's voicemail system. Our school maintains a web
site where lesson plans are posted regularly. Every staff member
has email with access to the Internet on the teachers' desks
in their classrooms.
A parent's check for student placement
in a middle school with regards to the staff's awareness of
the importance of teaching social skills.
