Schiffer Parent/Adult Involvement

Parent/adult involvement is crucial to providing comprehensive support to our students and helping them achieve success both in and out of the classroom. We believe our staff, students, and parents must function as a team, and as such a student’s eligibility to attend our school is dependent on the following parental commitments:

• Parents/adults must commit to a four-week Parent Discovery classes during the first quarter their child is enrolled at Schiffer. The Discovery teacher will send letters/messages informing parents/adults of the times and dates of the four required sessions.
• Parents/adults are expected to contribute 12 school service hours per year (6 per semester). The following committee work will be recognized as involvement hours:
  • Parent/Teacher Conferences
  • P.A.S.S. (Parents for Achievement of Student Success) –parents are expected to attend one time each quarter
  • Before school activities
  • ACT snacks
  • Graduation committee
  • Game Night
  • Other Schiffer School activities
