Your involvement is critical for your child(ren) to succeed academically and grow emotionally. You can support the Garland community by:<\/p>\n
Attendance is very important at Hamlin Garland School. Please make sure that your child(ren) are at school, on time, every day. The school day starts at 7:15 a.m. and ends at 2:15 p.m. If your child(ren) will be absent, please make sure to let the office know by calling (414) 304-6500. Thank you for supporting your child(ren)\u2019s attendance at school!<\/p>\n
Your 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.<\/p>\n
Programs used in the classroom can be utilized by your child at home to help them improve academically. Have your student login through Clever<\/a> to find all programs they can access including Smarty Ants, My Path, Discovery Education, Flocabulary, etc.<\/p>\n Attend 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.<\/p>\n Families 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.<\/p>\n Hamlin Garland School understands the connection between family support and student success; therefore, we are committed to involving families in their child\u2019s education. Parents and guardians are encouraged to come to Garland and assist teachers in their classrooms. This allows children to combine support from home with support at school, making for positive results.<\/p>\n We have very active parent volunteers. We are always looking for more caring, motivated individuals to work with our students. Please contact our parent coordinator, Muyassar Jaber, at jabermx@milwaukee.k12.wi.us<\/a> to learn more about how you can help in the classroom.<\/p>\nDiscuss Your Child\u2019s Progress with Their Teachers<\/h2>\n
