Families Matter At Belton Prep
July 13th, 2023 by admin
At Belton Preparatory Academy, we are proud of our ability to offer top-level K5 & 2-7 Classical Education in a warm and supportive environment. But we also understand that our achievements aren't ours alone. We rely on the support and involvement of our families and caregivers to reach our educational goals. At Belton Prep, families matter!
Teaching Starts At Home
You may have heard the saying "the parent is the child's first teacher". At Belton Prep, we recognize that parents are vital to every child's learning experience. From creating a home environment that values learning; to listening and respecting children's opinions; to modeling the principles of our Core Virtues curriculum – families create a foundation for every child's education.
Partnering With Parents
Research shows that students whose parents are involved in their school have better attendance and behavior, get better grades, demonstrate better social skills and adapt better to school. Belton Prep teachers and staff work alongside parents to support our students' learning. Our small-school setting enables us to know every student – and their families – by name. We'll reach out to parents to coordinate free after-school tutoring or other support if we see their child struggling with a subject. For students who could benefit from enrichment, we'll work with parents to identify opportunities to extend learning inside and outside of the classroom.
How Can You Get Involved?
There are so many ways to engage in your child's learning! Here are some ideas from Belton Prep parents:
- Read with your child
- Help with homework
- Discuss school events together
- Attend school functions
- Sign up for parent-teacher conferences
- Volunteer in your child's classroom
