| How can parents/community help? | |||||||||||||
| A key to student success is the active participation of the students' parents. At Snoqualmie Middle School, staff is continually willing to communicate with parents about their child. Teachers meet daily as a team and set time each week to meet with parents about student needs. Parents can support their child by reviewing their daily Eagle Agenda and weekly reviews established by classroom teachers. SharePoint, online grading and progress reports also provide parents with communication about their child. Attending school-wide events, volunteering, participating in monthly PTSA meetings and parent support meetings will demonstrate a knowledgeable and caring attitude about your child in middle school. Parent partnership and attendance at all events contributes to student success at Snoqualmie Middle School. | |||||||||||||
