HOW YOU CAN
GET INVOLVED

PARENT RESOURCE CENTER
Giving you the tools to make the toughest job a little easier

Active Parents = Successful Students
The rewards for getting involved in your child’s school are endless – doing something
meaningful, spending time with enjoyable people who care about children, sensing
accomplishment, learning a new skill, and recognition for your service are just a few.
But, an active parent’s greatest reward is a successful student.

TAKE 5
Take 5 minutes every day to talk to your student about
these 5 important things:
1. What is your student goal?
2. What did you do today to help achieve your
student goal?
3. How did you make character count today?
4. What can you do tomorrow to achieve excellence?
5. Encourage your child in a very specific and
genuine way.

VOLUNTEER
One of the best ways to get involved in your child’s life
is to volunteer at school. Whether it is becoming an
NISD Room Parent, offering to help with a big project,
or volunteering for a one-day specal event, everyone’s
contributions help our children to be successful. Click

children and for you.
