A high five requires two people, and so does a strong partnership between home and school. We are highlighting simple ways to strengthen that partnership and set your student up for success.

This week's High 5 For Parents - Check Backpacks.

Families can help create a safe, focused learning environment by taking a few minutes to check their child's backpack each day. Backpacks should contain the school supplies, assignments, and personal items students need for learning - and nothing that could distract from or disrupt the school day.
