Parent Info

“Children whose parents spend time with them in educational activities or are involved in school activities achieve more in school, regardless of socio-economic status.”
Benson, Charles S.: Buckley, Stuart: and Mendrich, Elliot A.
“Families as Educators,” Time: Contributions to School Achievement.
It is the encouragement and support from parents that enables children to live their dreams and achieve their goals. Sometimes, in the busy pace of our daily lives, we wonder just what difference an extra fifteen minutes of story reading at night or reviewing what happened at school that day will really make. While we may never know the impact we make on our children, consider the familiar starfish legend... 

As the old man walked along the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally, catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun. “But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish washed ashore,” countered the old man. “How can your efforts make any difference?” 
The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and threw it safely in the waves. “It makes a difference to this one,” he said.

We encourage parents to be participators; to participate and be active in our school events and activities. The partnership between the home, the school and the child is a key factor in your child’s success at school. You are an important part of what makes Wellington Seventh-day Adventist School so special.
