As we begin a new school year, we find teachers establishing school standards and rules.  In the most successful classrooms, teachers have established specific routines for the children to follow.  This means giving the children a specific place to find and keep materials, a set schedule for classroom instruction, etc.  These routines, blended with the teacher’s consistent standards, form a smooth running classroom where the children have the security of understanding their environment and are reinforced positively for their contributions.

The partnership between the school and parents proves to be one of the most important components of student achievement.  A school of excellence has a foundation based on parents and educators working together for the best interest of children.  Educators everywhere recognize the important contributions parents make toward a child’s success in school.  We invite you to join our Parent Teacher Association or Local School Council and become a part of the West Manor Family!
