Supporting the involvement of families in young people’s learning

• Provide families with information on:
  • the Policy on Educational Success
  • the Québec Education Program
  • complementary Educational Services
  • competency development
  • evaluation measures
  • the educational project
  • the school success plan
• Organize meetings between members of the school team and families, taking into account their household circumstances: schedules, custody agreements, single-parent families.
• Inform families about homework arrangements and ways to help young people with their homework. This can be done by using:
  • work plans
  • evaluation calendars
  • information meetings
  • pedagogical methods
  • distraction-free environments
  • mentoring or homework assistance
• Provide families with training on various topics.

This action is aligned with the following framework:

• Going the Healthy Route at School

• to prepare children to start elementary school and secondary school (transitions)
• to implement routines that promote learning, health and well-being
• to acquire the school supplies required
• to adopt prosocial and safe behaviours, such as wearing a bicycle helmet
• to pursue school-based learning that promotes health and well-being (e.g. suggestions for activities, newsletters)
