The Parent Resource Directory Williamston Middle School and Williamston High School Williamston, Michigan It may be a small community, but Williamston, Michigan is filled with talented, skilled people with a myriad of areas of expertise! Our middle and high schools faced an interesting challenge: how could we tap into the tremendous untapped resource our schools' parents had to offer? The idea we came up with: a Parent Resource Directory. We made an important distinction right off the batthis would not be simply a volunteer program enlisting help for a variety of generic volunteer activities. Instead, we would create a "talent pool"a gathering of information allowing us to match the schools' needs with parents' unique skills and areas of interest. Our goal was simple: to more effectively recognize and utilize the talents, skills, and expertise of as many parents as possible. How could we begin to do so? We presented the worksheet at the fall Open House, showing it to parents gathered in an audience, expressing our appreciation for their talents and abilities, and stressing that the worksheet would simply allow us to set up a database for future opportunities. The principal then asked parents to fill out the worksheet right then and turn it in. At our high school, we gained 230 worksheets on two occasions (Orientation and Open House). At our middle school, we gained 125 worksheets at Open House. We plan to present it again this spring at our incoming sixth grade parent orientation.

Spring Break Guidelines Heading to Florida or other warm-weather destinations for spring break used to be a rite of passage enjoyed mainly by college students. But in recent years, high-school juniors and seniors have been joining in the annual ritual, too. Recognizing that some high-school students will continue to plan these kinds of spring-break trips regardless of the risks, the educators suggest the following guidelines for parents to help their kids safe: Suggest alternate destinations. Spring break may be an ideal time to schedule college visits, a family trip, or an excursion that has a service-learning component (such as volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to build a house). If another adult serves as chaperone, provide him or her with a health-insurance card for your child, a notarized statement giving the chaperone permission to authorize emergency medical care, and phone numbers where you and other contact persons can be reached in the event of an emergency.

68. Parent Resource: Relieving Prom Anxiety tell you, be aware that most schools welcome parents to either principals, MASSP’s mission is to improve secondary education in michigan through leadership http://www.michiganprincipals.org/parentresources/prom_anxiety.html

Relieving Prom Anxiety A panel of Michigan principals assembled by the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) recognizes how special proms can be for high-school students. The principals also have suggestions that can lessen prom anxiety for both parents and students. Here are more tips offered by the educators to help ensure a safe and successful prom: Recognize that prom is designed for junior and senior high-school students. Underclassmen are not necessarily ready to experience the event. Remember that all school rules remain in effect for prom night and after-prom activities, and are likely to be enforced. This includes abiding by the school dress code when choosing prom attire. Meet with your child and his or her date well before prom night to discuss your expectations and theirs. Encourage attendance at organized post-prom activities. Despite what your child may tell you, be aware that most schools welcome parents to either chaperone at prom, or drop in and view the decorations.

"I didn't know what I would be doing, but I knew it would help me," said Hitchel, who graduated last month from Clear Lake High School. By then, the 18-year-old knew how to draw a blueprint, fix a baseball-size hole in a wall, outfit a room with electrical wires and recite the names and functions of more than 100 hand tools and household fixtures. As business owners request more experience from their entry-level employees, the nation's high schools are beginning to train not just educate students such as Hitchel.
