PARENT CONFERENCE WEEK

??????????????

     Hello Westport Community! It's Parent Conference Week! Do you have your questions ready?

     This week is an opportunity for you to dialogue with you child's teacher. It can be a great time to both give and receive feedback about your learner's education.

   Here are a few to get you started:

- How can I help my child in the area(s) that he or she needs most?

-What are my child's greatest academics strengths? How can I build on those?

- Which books do you recommend for us to read together?

-How much time should we spend on homework each night?

    Have I missed any? What are good questions to ask of the teacher to help enhance your child's education? Please, comment below.

               ??????????????

On Tuesday, August 26, Westport Heights held its annual "Back-To-School Night." This yearly event is a great opportunity for parents to get to know their child's new teacher and learn about classroom policies and procedures. What did you learn about your child's classroom?

Papers! Papers!! Papers!!!

 

 



          Well Westport Parents, it is "the most wonderful time of year" ... for LAUSD paperwork. Emergency Cards. Student Information Cards. Behavior Contracts. It is, seemingly, non-stop this time of year. Hats off to those of you with more than one child in elementary school.You are the real heroes!

 

      So, why all the paperwork, LAUSD?

 

          Emergency Cards, for example, are needed "just in case." Of course, as parents, we never want anything to happen to our child. But, "just in case" it does. Wouldn't you feel better knowing that you filled in the emergency card with ACCURATE, WORKING telephone numbers?

 

    So, be a SUPER STAR! Sit right down and get those emergency cards, etc. completely filled in and sent back to school the very next day! Trust me; your child's teacher will appreciate the effort.
