Family Engagement
Norman Public Schools is dedicated to fostering strong connections and engagement among families, schools, the District, and the community. Our commitment lies in creating a secure and nurturing environment for all students, where academic achievement and social development thrive.
Schools aim to cultivate meaningful partnerships with families by focusing on three key pillars:
Communication: Establishing effective two-way communication channels between families and educators is vital. This means providing various means for families and teachers to receive and discuss information about students' progress, both inside and outside the school environment.
Community: Building strong relationships within the school community is essential. Every member should feel valued, knowing they contribute significantly to students' academic achievements and overall well-being.
Connecting Learning at Home and School: Families are essential partners in understanding and addressing their child's needs. It's crucial for parents to be aware of their child's progress in school and understand how they can support their learning and development at home. This connection between home and school learning is key to student success.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parent-teacher conferences play a pivotal role in a child's education by fostering a strong partnership between parents and educators. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity for open communication, allowing parents to gain insights into their child's academic progress, strengths, and areas that need improvement. Teachers, on the other hand, can share personalized strategies and recommendations tailored to the child's learning style and needs. Through these discussions, parents can actively participate in their child's educational journey, understanding the curriculum, school expectations, and ways to support learning at home. Beyond academics, these conferences also facilitate discussions about the child's social and emotional development, ensuring a holistic approach to their education. By fostering this collaborative relationship, parent-teacher conferences not only enhance student performance but also create a supportive network where parents and teachers work together to nurture the child's growth and success.
