In our classrooms, students become much like a family, supporting one another in learning and growing.
Outside of the classroom, our parents become family, too. Together, they help support their children and the school with open communication and support in their areas of expertise.
In our experience, open communication between staff and families, and between families themselves, helps create an environment where we can all grow and thrive.
Curriculum and Parents Meeting
Each fall McGuffey holds a Curriculum Meeting where parents are invited to learn about the curriculum and what their children will be learning that year. In addition, in the spring there is an annual Parents Meeting, where parents are invited to hear about the current state of the school and learn about long-range plans. This meeting is the time when parents are invited to share ideas and suggestions and ask questions. It is critical that parents attend these meetings! Without your voice, we can’t grow and evolve to meet and exceed expectations.
Family Hours Program
As part of the Family Hours Program, parents help improve an maintain our facilities and curriculum. If you are a family looking for a way to complete your Family Hours, please contact Donna Carter.
Social Events
Parents and families often gather for social events, from our Back-to-School picnic to an adults-only evening affair. This provides an opportunity for parents to get to know one another and meet their children’s friends. Please attend these events! It is important to your children to be able to share their world with their parents—and it’s likely you’ll make a few new friends yourself!
