ParentsA child’s greatest teacher is his/her parents, and LEAP Academy values the enormous role our parents play in the education of our students. A caring and well-informed parent population is a cornerstone of LEAP Academy’s model of holistic learning, and parents are a welcomed presence in the day-to-day affairs of our school. Whether it’s as a volunteer teacher aid in our early grades, a chaperon on a class field trip, or a parent representative on our Board of Trustees, LEAP parents are one of our most invaluable resources. Each year, parents sign a Parent Partnership Agreement that pledges their commitment to LEAP’s school policies, to being an active partner in their child’s education, and to volunteering a minimum of 40 hours of involvement at the school. Our parent involvement is facilitated by offering two parent organizations: the LEAP Parents Council and the Rutgers/LEAP Parents Academy for School Reform. The Parents Academy specializes in monthly parent training series intended to strengthen parent leadership, while the Parents Council offers a community of fellow parents that extends well beyond the school’s doors. |
