Families are one of the most important influences in a child’s education and provide some of the first teaching experiences. Students excel in school when families and staff members work together and communicate well. Cass St. School reinforces the values of the home and family structure in every classroom. Staff members collaborate with families to reinforce core learning concepts and support consistent expectations between teachers, students and parents.
Parents and families are encouraged to promote learning at home. Cass Street has a Family Resource Center, located on the first floor in room 18B, just to the left of the entrance stairs. We are here to provide families with strategies to help improve study skills at home and bolster learning. We ask parents to share their knowledge and expertise by volunteering as classroom helpers and chaperones. Some suggestions include leading special projects, participating in programs and school events, sharing skills and tutoring students. From the school’s weekly communication folder, monthly newsletter, to classroom Dojo, texts, emails and phone calls; strong communication is encouraged between school and home to encourage student success.
