Join your child at school events and activities. We love getting to know our River Trail families by collaborating and celebrating together during special events.<\/p>\n
River Trail School of Agricultural Science is fortunate to have a dedicated parent coordinator on staff to answer questions about parent engagement, family events, and school resources. You can meet Kendra Pearson in our Parent Resource Center, or contact her at pearsokl@milwaukee.k12.wi.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n Family involvement leads to better grades, better attendance, improved test scores, higher self-esteem, and better behavior for children. Helping your child succeed at River Trail School of Agricultural Science includes practices and priorities like:<\/p>\n At home, be sure to provide a quiet time and place for your child to do homework. At home, your child can easily access the same online programs they use in class. Have your student log in through Clever<\/a> to find learning programs like Smarty Ants, Discovery Education, Flocabulary, and others.<\/p>\n To access additional homework resources for your student, find out if your child\u2019s classroom teacher uses Google Classroom or Seesaw as their preferred interactive learning platform.<\/p>\n Stay in touch with your child\u2019s teacher and you\u2019ll be up to date on your child\u2019s academic goals and accomplishments. Students feel extra motivated when they see teachers and parents working as a team to reinforce high expectations and positive learning strategies. Here are some tips for building a strong parent-teacher relationship to support your child.<\/p>\n Learn more about volunteering with MPS<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Families are our most valuable partners at River Trail School of Agricultural Science.

Communicating with Your Child\u2019s Teacher<\/h2>\n
\n
Discuss your child\u2019s progress with their teachers<\/h2>\nAttend parent\/teacher conferences, or arrange for a special conference with your child\u2019s teacher. If time does not permit, a phone call or a brief note is appreciated.\n\n
Assist your child with homework<\/h2>\nYour child\u2019s teacher will communicate with you about the type of homework that is appropriate for your child. Be sure to provide a quiet time and place for homework.\n\n
Volunteer<\/h2>\nFamilies play a vital role in education. Parents are encouraged to work with teachers to decide on an appropriate time to visit their child\u2019s classroom, discuss student progress and share ways to increase learning. Reports are sent home to parents and conferences are scheduled regularly to assess each student\u2019s progress. Staff will honor parental requests for additional conferences, meetings or reports at any time.\n\nWe have very active parent volunteers. We are always looking for more caring, motivated individuals to work with our students. Volunteers are a wonderful supplement to the educational experience of children in Milwaukee Public Schools.\n\nGet more information on volunteering in MPS<\/a>.","_et_gb_content_width":"","_mc_calendar":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-27","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/rivertrail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/rivertrail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/rivertrail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/rivertrail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/rivertrail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/rivertrail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mps.school\/rivertrail\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
