PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in the education of their children. You are encouraged to participate in all school activities, workshops, conferences, and events that take place at Howe. We ask that you also support us in working with your child in the following areas:
Attendance – Send your child to school daily and on time
Set High Expectations – Encourage your child to try hard and do their best in school
Discipline – Encourage your child to practice self control and follow the School District of Philadelphia’s Code of Conduct and the school-wide expectations for Julia Ward Howe
Stay Informed – Frequently inquire about your child’s progress by regularly communicating with your child’s teacher, responding to written communications sent home, and attending parent conferences
Emphasize Reading: Promote reading as a daily practice at home for at least 15 – 20 minutes
Ensure Accuracy of Contact Information – Be sure to inform the school when there is a change in your child’s address or telephone number.
