National PTA's Take
Your Family to School Week is February 12 to 18. Help out at events such
as family reading night, parenting workshops, or educational family
activities. National PTA offers grants to help fund especially deserving
school programs. Help your school apply for next
year at pta.org/familytoschool.
- Celebrate African American History Month
Your school, local museums, and libraries will have special events. You and your children can also go to africanamerican historymonth.gov for online exhibits and activities.
- Honor Presidents' Day
Search online for
activities you can do with your kids, such as matching presidential
portraits with their names or doing word searches about them. Older
students will enjoy learning about the four presidents carved into Mount
Rushmore at nps.gov/moru.
- Schedule a midyear checkin with the teacher
Discuss your children's progress and
how homework is going. And always reach out to teachers when important
changes are happening in your family's life,
such as the death of a relative, a move to a new home, or anything that
might affect your children's behavior or performance at school—so the
school staff can offer support as well.
