7 things teachers wish parents knew

Getting Ready for Back-to-School
Helping your kids do their very best at school

The 7 things teachers "say" they wish parents knew:

    1. Don't be a stranger!
    2. Learning doesn't stop at 3:15 pm.
    3. Let your child make mistakes.
    4. Stay involved — even when you don't know the material.
    5. The teacher's on your side — give him/her the benefit of the doubt.
    6. Keep your child organized.
    7. If the teacher deserves a good grade, give him/her one.

THINK Together is serious about helping kids achieve!

THINK Together is making a difference in the lives of more than 100,000 California students. The non-profit organization's trained staff, dedicated volunteers and generous donors are providing extended learning time programs (after-school, summer learning, small group tutoring, early literacy, etc.) and resources to help these kids, their families and their communities achieve. Our programs, generally free for at-risk students and low-income families, are predominately available at public school sites across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and now Sacramento Counties.
