Pacific Technology School encourages its teachers and parents to make home visits to their students to establish a better communication between home and school. Home visits are voluntary for both Pacific Technology School teachers and parents. We make home visits for the following reasons; | - Promote partnership between parents and teachers.
- Encourage parent involvement.
- Parents gain a better understanding of school’s educational policies.
- Provide new understanding of students’ learning style.
- Understand emotional and social needs and behaviors of students.
- Identify students’ latest interests and concerns
| Teachers will contact the parent via phone to ask to make a home visit. If the parent agrees on it they will schedule a time for the visit. Teachers will come in pairs. A typical home visit takes 30 min to 1 hour. Teachers at the visit will | - Give feedback about student. Talk about student’s records, grades, motivation, and performance.
- Give suggestions to enhance student’s achievement.
- Elicit feedback from parents regarding child’s interests, concerns and progress.
- Get feedback about school.
- Discuss parents’ interests, hobbies and strengths.
- Reinforce positive parenting and more parent involvement.
- Provide information about future parent activities.(potluck, picnic, etc)
- Highlight school activities, events. (field trips, potlucks, science fair, etc.)
