Increasing BV Schools Graduation Rate
We’re in This Together!
Our
school system has taken on the challenge of increasing our graduation
rate. But we need the community’s support in this effort. How can you
help?
- Ask
questions at the elementary level regarding your child’s reading level.
One predictor of high school graduation is reading on level by third
grade.
- Support
the after school and summer school remediation programs. If your son or
daughter is recommended to attend, please give us the opportunity to
assist them by ensuring their attendance.
- Investigate
our Talent Search program at the high school. This will provide funding
opportunities and guidance for post secondary education, trade schools,
etc.
- Meet with guidance counselors. It’s never too early to start making plans for your son or daughter’s future.
- Impress
on your middle school and high school students that better paying jobs
come with a high school diploma and some post secondary education or
training.
- Explore
the possibilities through our Career and Technical Education courses.
It’s changed from what we used to know as “vocational education”.
Most
important, ask questions and show your son or daughter that you are
communicating with their schools and you know exactly what’s going
on!!!!!
Thanks for your continued support.
