- Support the child’s academic, social and emotional development through interaction and regular study support at school, home and in the community
- Communicate daily through what is called the passport system. Click here to learn more about it.
- Work as a team with teachers and other support personnel to create a positive learning environment
- Demonstrate dedication and importance of the child’s education success through school involvement and attending mandatory school functions
