The Parental Involvement Pledgetm
AS A PARENT,
GRANDPARENT, OR CARING ADULT, I hereby give my pledge of commitment
to help our community's children achieve a truly independent
future. My declaration of responsibility and commitment to my
public schools is stated in these five self-evident truths as
spoken by President Woodrow Wilson:
As
Americans, we are the owners of the public school system.
- As owners, we
bear a responsibility to participate in the system.
- Accountability
for our public schools, their safety, and its employees and its
funding rests with us and the rest of the system's owners.
- Our children's
future depends on the improvement of the public
schools.
- And this improvement
depends on our participation.
THEREFORE
AS A PARENT,GRANDPARENT, OR CARING ADULT, I take personal responsibility for my
child's safety and education and the safety and education of
the children in this community.
- I pledge to volunteer a minimum
of five hours of my time to my public schools each semester.
- I pledge to spend a minimum
of fifteen minutes each school night reading with my child
or we will work together on homework and enrichment activity.
