Parental Involvement

Phelan School is very proud of the support that parents provide to our campus. Parents volunteer regularly in the classroom working with students, preparing materials and supporting in many other ways. More than 90% of our parents attended November Parent Teacher Conferences and we have great attendance at Back-To-School Night, the Trimester Awards assemblies and Open House. At our Family Literacy Day, parents learn about Language Arts standards and how they can help their children at home. Our Family Science Night provided families with the opportunity to do hands-on science together that align with the state science standards. We have a group of volunteers who are involved in our Wonder of Reading Program. Phelan has an active and involved Parent Teacher Association which sponsors a variety of events to enhance our students' educational experience. Highlights include Buck-A-Book Fridays, a school-wide Read-A-Thon, field trips, art classes, and book fairs. Our School Site Council has an active and involved group of parents who give us continual input on our programs. Finally, Phelan's English Learner Advisory Council meets monthly with interesting presentations for parents of our English Learners. We are pleased with the excellent attendance at these meetings.
