Staff recommend more open houses, recorded messages to boost attendance and parent engagement
Summary
Teachers at an Oct. 8 workshop suggested more open-house events and recorded parent communications with tips (for example, reading to children and encouraging attendance) to improve student attendance and parent involvement.
Teachers and staff at a La Center School District linkage workshop on Oct. 8, 2024, recommended expanding parent-education efforts to support student attendance and engagement.
During the round-table discussion attended by board members and administrators, staff suggested conducting more open-house events and sending recorded messages or emails with practical tips—such as encouraging parents to read to their children and to reinforce good attendance. The minutes summarize these recommendations as ways to educate parents alongside students.
Staff framed the proposals as low-cost, high-impact measures to support classroom learning. The board discussed the linkage feedback informally after the workshop; because the meeting was a workshop, no votes or formal directions were recorded.
