At PROVIDENT CHARTER SCHOOLS (PCS) we are proud of our ability to offer innovative, effective education for elementary and middle school students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences.
We also understand that our achievements aren’t ours alone. We rely on the support and involvement of parents and caregivers to reach our educational goals. At PCS, families are first!
Teaching Starts At Home
You may have heard the saying “the parent is the child’s first teacher.” At PCS, we recognize that parents are vital to every child’s learning experience. From creating a home environment that values learning; to listening and respecting children’s opinions; to modeling our school values of Perseverance, Compassion and Self Control; families create a foundation for every child’s education.
Partnering With Parents
RESEARCH SHOWS that students whose parents are involved in their school have better attendance and behavior, get better grades, demonstrate better social skills and adapt better to school. PCS teachers and staff work alongside parents to support our students’ learning. Our small-school setting enables us to build strong relationships with every student – and their family. Teachers and parents partner with each other through frequent communication and classroom feedback.
Family Engagement Series
Learning isn’t just for enrolled students at PCS. Each year we host a Family Engagement Series for parents and caregivers to attend with their children. Popular events like the Dyslexia Simulation and STEAM Night offer unique experiences to learn more about our curriculum and language-based learning differences. Families of all ages visit our campus to enjoy hands-on curriculum-based events like Frog Day, Cake Decorating, House/Circuits Project, and more. These events are a great way to have fun with your family and get to know the PCS community!
How Can You Get Involved?
There are so many ways to engage in your child’s learning! Here are some ideas:
- Read with your child
- Discuss school events together
- Attend school functions
- Sign up for parent-teacher conferences
- Volunteer in your child’s classroom
