2) Interventions, Interventions, Interventions -- Parent Contact, Parent Contact, Parent Contact
Does anything else need to be said?
(Ok . .one more thing -- don't forget the expectations about documenting all parent contact and all tutoring opportunities and which kids are taking advantage of it and when --- the documentation is key!)
And while you're contacting parents, encourage them to participate in the Parent Perception Survey and the State Climate Survey about our school -- both of which are located on our Radloff Webpage!!!! --- We need parents to participate as it figures into our CCRPI score!!!
