Parental Guidance and Communications

Communication Between Home and School

It is the intention of the school office to keep all parents well-informed regarding school programs, policies, and activities.  Fliers and other notices are frequently sent home with students.  Green Acres distributes a monthly newsletter in English and Spanish to all families.  Look for this in your child’s Friday folder. The newsletter is also published at:  https://greenacres.fortmorgank12.com/about/newsletter Please inform your child’s teacher if you are not receiving the newsletter.  Our teachers also communicate frequently with parents.  We want you to be well-informed.  If you need additional information about Green Acres, please call us!

Suggestions to Parents

Parents play a very important role in making the school experience a successful one.  A few suggestions for all school children are:

  1. Encourage your child to go to bed early and get plenty of rest.

  2. Encourage your child to eat a good breakfast before coming to school.

  3. Encourage your child to respect the rights and property of others.

  4. Encourage your child to be thoughtful of others.

  5. Encourage your child to take and accept responsibility.

  6. Demonstrate to your children that you value the importance of a good education.

  7. Read to your child, and with your child.  Model that you value reading.

  8. Be an active, involved parent ― show your child that you care.

Parent Teacher Organization

Green Acres School has an active Parent-Teacher organization (P.T.O.).  The P.T.O. exists in order to promote a close relationship between parents and staff of the school.  Our P.T.O. serves the school in various ways, including:

  • Promoting and organizing a community volunteer network for the school.

  • Serving as a branch of our school accountability process.

  • Hosting/helping with various school functions (Teacher Appreciation Week, May Day Dash, Spring Carnival, etc.).

  • Organizing our school’s after-school enrichment program.

  • Providing additional educational opportunities for our students.

  • Raising funds for school equipment, projects, and programs.

Currently, the P.T.O meets on a monthly basis with work groups meeting as needed.  Interested parents are encouraged to attend. Parents and other community members are also encouraged to phone the school if they would like a particular item to be discussed at a P.T.O. meeting. 

All Green Acres School patrons and staff are considered members of the PTO and will be asked to participate in various ways.  A warm welcome to our many members…including you!  The PTO sponsors one or two fundraising functions during the year to help school children with such things as additional equipment, assemblies, cost of yearbooks, and field trips.
