Parent Involvement At El Dorado High School
A strong partnership between the school and home is essential if a quality educational program is to be provided to all students. El Dorado High School is dedicated to the philosophy that parent involvement is integral to the success of each student. For this reason, parents are actively recruited as our partners for success.
As an El Dorado parent, you are the necessary link between our educational program and our students. We invite any comments or suggestions you may have to help improve this line of communication. To enhance the lines of communication, we will ensure that information relating to school meetings, parent programs and associated activities will be sent to students and parents in a form and language that parents can understand. Our resource staff, office staff and administration will be available whenever required.
The faculty, staff, and administrators at El Dorado High School recognize the necessity and value of parent involvement to enable our school to provide opportunities for students served to acquire the knowledge and skills contained in the State’s challenging content and student performance standards that all children are expected to meet. In order to assure collaborative partnerships between parents and school, El Dorado is committed to pursuing the following goals in ways that recognize and respect the diversity and differing needs of families.
