ERHS Parent Resource Center

Welcome to the Eleanor Roosevelt High School Parent Resource Center. My name is Sandra Butler and I am assigned to ERHS on Tuesdays as the Parent Liaison. My goal is to improve parental involvement in the school by improving communication and collaboration between school staff and families. Research has proven that there is a direct correlation between parental involvement and student achievement.

Some ways that parents can become involved and remain involved are by joining the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA); assisting with school clubs and organizations; volunteering for parents assisting teachers (PAT program); and chaperoning school events to name a few.

I also encourage parents to periodically visit their child's classes (classroom observation) and to attend all parent/teacher conferences.

As the Parent Liaison, you can count on me to be your advocate for assuring that your child reaches his/her optimum potential while in high school. Below are just a few ways in which I will support you and your family so that your child is successful in high school.

1. Work with parents to help improve the understanding of school policies, procedures and educational requirements.

2. Develop a process to facilitate effective and frequent communication between school staff and families regarding the needs and concerns of families and schools.
