Posted by Sunder Singh on June 12th, 2017

In most of the cases, the relationship between parents and school staff is good. You might be well acquainted with school staffs and teachers, and from time to time, you may get welcomed for your input and hands-on involvement. However, many parents feel regret for not being involved in their kid’s school activity they wish to. Your children are giving you a second chance to live your childhood once again. Don’t miss this opportunity. Enter into their school world and enjoy doing homework, working on a project, doing a science experiment, or being creative in art & craft class.

Here we tell you how you can do this.

Volunteer in classroom

Some parents love volunteering in their kid’s classroom, working with students each week regularly, helping small children with their small assignments, projects, and art & crafts. You can easily volunteer in your child’s classroom on a weekly basis. Ask their teacher about it and lend a helping hand to them. If you are a full-time working parent and don’t get sufficient time for it, you may help teachers prepare materials for classroom projects.

Improve communication

Build a proper communication channel with the teachers and staff of your child’s school. Ask them about the mode of communication they are comfortable with, like emails, phone calls, parents’ notes or readily getting popular apps for school and teachers. In this tech savvy world, due to increased use of smartphones, communication apps are increasingly being adopted by schools and parents. These apps offer easy, simple and instant communication. Plus, one can conveniently share pictures, pdf files, notes, assignments, etc.

Field trips

Field trips are important means to provide the diverse experience of the neighborhood to children. However, these trips need volunteers to guide and take care of children. If you want to volunteer for field trips, you will probably be given the responsibility of a group of children. You will be expected to plan your participation and take required information from the teacher. Anyway, the trip will surely be worth taking.

School events

School often needs a large number of helping hands and assistance to prepare for a school event, like serve meals, prepare boards, flyers, rehearsals and so on. You can communicate school about your interest to help.

While keeping contact with the school, show respect and listen to them patiently. Your efforts will indeed be appreciated.
