Parental Involvement


STRIDE Academy believes that family/school relationships are imperative for student success.  Beyond the required covenant meeting, parents will also be asked, and encouraged, to commit 30 hours of volunteer time throughout the year.  Volunteer hours will be used for a variety of activities, including classroom supervision, office support, fundraising, etc. 


Our hope by having parental volunteering is that students will do better in school, parents will be more in tune as to what their children are doing in school, and our school curriculum will improve with parental involvement.  While volunteer time is not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged, and vital to your student's academic success.


Along with volunteering time, we also encourage parents and families to contribute ideas or suggestions for classroom activities that can be offered during intercessions. 


We believe that aligning families and school will benefit students, families, teachers, and the greater community.


Remember that the earlier in a student's education process a parent gets involved, the more powerful the effects.


Learn more about other ways to get involved in your student's education by attending PATHS meetings.  Contact our volunteer coordinator Cameo DeDomines at 230.5340.
