Dear Parents:

The Enterprise City Schools have recently implemented an academic model for parental involvement that will provide our teachers, students, and families with valuable materials. These resources were designed to help your child achieve success in the classroom.

Research continues to support the theory that an involved parent makes a huge difference in a student's academic achievement. Our goal is to involve you in your child's education. We are providing you with hundreds of meaningful and appropriate activities within the areas of math, reading, language arts, and science. Many parents have told us that they don't know how to help their children with some of their homework. These activities are meant to give you the ability to understand the concepts, as well as a quick refresher on these important learning objectives. These activities were written with parents in mind; you don't have to be a subject expert to help your child complete the activities. For those activities requiring materials, most are common items that can be found in the home. While these activities are posted on our web site under Parental Involvement, you can also request these activities to be printed or emailed by your child's teacher.

Not only will this allow you to contribute to your child's education, but it will also make you aware of areas that your child may need help or benefit from enrichment. Ensuring that your children master the important foundation skills will help them become confident and successful students.

Additional activities and personalized reading selections can also be found at www.ParentTutor.com. This is a free service for your child's benefit. (You will need to call the school to get Pinedale's code to complete the registration process.) 

We are excited about your child's success and welcome any questions you may have.

Sincerely,



Zel Thomas, Principal
