Ever feel like you don’t make a difference?… Think again.




As the school year winds down, it is a good time to reflect upon what really matters most, what works, and what we might try and do better next time.  I know we will be setting our goals and objectives for next year to make Escobedo even better.

As parents, sometimes we might feel like there is not a lot we can do to help our kids be successful in school if we are not comfortable with the curriculum.  Did you know that the smallest things can make a huge impact in your child’s success?  A recent study out of the University of New Hampshire shows that students do much better in school when their parents are actively involved in their education.  Just talking about what’s going on at school, what they learned in class, attending school meetings, or volunteering at school has the same impact on student achievement that an additional $1,000 per student would have.

So, as you think about what you could do next year for your student, the best answer is to get involved.  You may be surprised at the results.
