HLC encourages parents to participate in their child's school experience. Our classroom doors are always open for parents to come in and visit, read a book, do an art project, or just "hang out".

On the yellow child data form, if you checked that you would be available to volunteer, then you can expect to be hearing from your child's teacher. (If you want to be the one to make the initial contact about coming in to volunteer, that would be appreciated by our busy teachers.)

Parent involvement in a child's schooling is one of the best indicators of how well a child will do in school over time. Now and in the future you will need to be a part of your child's education in a way that is easily visible to your child and reinforces the values you wish to pass on.

Parents are always welcome in our classrooms. If your child is having any separation issues, you might consider waiting until these have resolved before you visit, but do remember to come in once your child is eagerly scampering in through the classroom door each day. We know that when the children only come to school for 2 1/2 hours at a time several times a week that you may need as much time as possible for "getting things done", but believe us when we tell you from experience that you soon won't believe the preschool years are over. Time flies when children are growing!
