Parent of the Year Award

“Parent of the Year” Award

 

Parents are the primary teachers of their children and parents contribute abundantly for the betterment of their children’s’ education at home and in the schools.  Why not have “Parent of the Year” awards in each of the seventeen schools in Edison and then select one of those parents as the “Edison Parent of the Year”? 

A committee will be established to determine the selection criteria for parents and eventually, ongoing committees will be set up in each school to implement this process.

The idea for “Parent of the Year” emanated from Edison parents and would complement the excellent program “Teacher of the Year”.  The “Parent of the Year” award will motivate parents to collaborate with teachers in the education of their children and will recognize parents as the primary champions of their children’s learning.
