Parent Involvement:
Each school year begins with an Open House. Invitations are mailed
to students and their parents and news articles are published in local
papers. The evening program begins with a short assembly. After the principal's
welcome, the PTSO president, who encourages parental participation, sponsors
a membership sign-up table and serves refreshments. Parents next follow
their child's schedule of seven I 0-minute classes to meet teachers and
to hear their expectations of students. In the fifth week of the first
three marking periods, 2 and 112 hours are set aside in the late afternoon
or evening for parent-teacher conferences. Parents are encouraged to call
the school to reserve conference time with teachers and teachers are asked
to call parents when conferences are necessary. Teachers also have 45 minutes
of common planning time at the end of each day to contact parents when
needed. The PTSO meets every six weeks and solicits parental involvement
in sponsoring programs, raising funds, and awarding scholarships. Parents
also serve as volunteers and on advisory committees, assist with academic
clubs, and support band and athletic booster clubs.
Comment:
The staff and administration of Indian River High School are committed
to a program of quality education. Although we are a small high school,
we believe that our function is to provide a program for each student which
engenders a positive concept of success.
