Welcome back to our Dodgeville families!!
I sincerely hope that summer was enjoyable and that you were able to spend quality time with family and friends. The Dodgeville staff and school board are excited about the new school year! As always, it is our top priority to serve families and provide the best possible school experience for students. Below are are few tips for parents that may be beneficial in connecting with your children’s teachers:
- Work with teachers to set goals for your children's education. You are a partner with teachers in your children’s education and should work together to achieve mutually agreed-upon goals.
- Talk with teachers at the beginning of the school year before you have any concerns about your children’s work.
- Talk with teachers even when things are going well with your child. If there are problems, it is easier to work them out if you already have a relationship with the teacher.
- Let teachers know about big events in your children's lives. These events can affect your child’s behavior in school and their ability to learn. Knowing about these big events helps teachers understand behavior changes and provide support.
Lastly, if you have concerns, please reach out. Your child's teacher, school counselor and principal are all there to provide assistance. The greater the connection between the school and families, the greater the amount of support that can be provided.
Let’s have a wonderful school year together!
