Opportunities for Parental Involvement
This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.
At Mattole Valley Charter School, parents are integral partners in the education of their children. They are involved in all curriculum decisions, and have an important role in carrying out the educational program. Our parents meet at least monthly with their education specialist to discuss progress and make modifications to their child’s program as needed. Parents have easy access to teachers, administrators, support staff and have access to a variety of educational resources. They are present at all meetings that involve any curriculum decisions that pertain to their child, and as such, contribute valuable information in the planning of an individualized student learning plan. We feel that this partnership enhances the overall educational program of our students. Parents are kept informed in a variety of formats: newsletters, emails, and the freedom to attend any meetings where charter business will be discussed, such as the Charter council.
