Mariner Update Parent Edition
Volume 12 Issue 2
Message from the Principal
As the principal, one question I get most often from parents is “How do I help my child be more successful in school”. There are several ways that you can help your child at IHCS. The first, and perhaps most important is to get involved in the school. Come to the monthly “Coffee with the Principal” meetings to hear about what is happening at the school and get updates on what is to come. This time is dedicated to parents and their questions. Join CABE and share the power of decision-making and in developing leadership capacity within everyone. Become an active member the English Language Advisory Committee so you can lend your voice and help make a variety of decisions about the school and what priorities need to be addressed each.
Become a volunteer at the school or in your child’s classroom. Research is clear that the more you become involved in the school the more succession your children will be at school. At Innovative Horizons Charter School, we welcome parents on campus each and every day. Stop by the front office to pick up a volunteer packet.
And finally, I encourage you to take time to review our website and take in all the valuable information that it has to offer. We will be updating it on a regular basis so please check back frequently for the latest information and news about IHCS and the Perris Elementary School District.
Thank you for allowing us to work with and educate your child. There is not greater responsibility than the shaping of the minds of tomorrow. We take that responsibility very seriously at IHCS and work hard to make every child successful… Innovative Horizons is a great place to be and learn.
