A new school year isn’t just about kids adjusting — parents and teachers are building a partnership too. When families and teachers work together, kids benefit academically and emotionally. Here are some ways to start strong.


📬 Reach Out Early

  • Send a quick email or note to introduce yourself and your child.

  • Share any helpful info (allergies, learning styles, or things that help your child succeed).


🗓 Attend Back‑to‑School Events

  • Meet the teacher in person if possible.

  • Use open houses or orientation nights to learn expectations and routines.


💬 Communicate Consistently

  • Ask your teacher how they prefer communication (email, app, phone).

  • Don’t wait for problems — check in regularly with short, positive updates.


🧡 Show Appreciation

  • A simple thank‑you note can go a long way.

  • Support classroom needs if you can (supplies, volunteering, encouragement).


🌟 FGO's Back to School HQ:

Partnership, not perfection, is the goal. When teachers and parents work as a team, students thrive.
