Systems in Schools14.1:School staff members display through words and actions that they value all children and welcome family and community members as partners and contributors to the teaching and learning process.14.2 It is not uncommon for teachers and administrators to take part in student participation opportunities outside of the school day that support students’ academic and/or social needs.14.3 There is a school plan being implemented that fully engages families in their children’s school life in a manner appropriate to the characteristics of the families served.14.4 All teachers communicate on a regular basis with families about their children’s progress.
