Parent Involvement

Kohler PK-8 School recognizes that parents & families are their children's first and most influential teachers and that continued parent & family involvement in the education of children contributes greatly to student achievement and a positive school enviornment.

In order to engage parents/families in their children's education, the staff at Kohler does the following:

  • Encourage parents/families to serve as volunteers in the school, attend student functions and school meetings, participate in site councils, and other advisory councils.
  • Regularly communicate with families regarding events, homework, academics and behavior through a school wide weekly newsletter, individual classroom newsletters, the NTI phone calling system, monthly parent meetings, progress reports each trimester, and individual phone calls home and home visits.
  • Offer parent/family educational opportunities including: the Latino Family Literacy Project, Community Based English Tutoring, weekly access to the Library Media Center, classes offered through Support Services around a variety of topics, and classes offered to our kindergarten and pre-school parents by our Curriculum Support Teacher focusing on literacy skills.
Family Fridays

Family Fridays

Family Friday's are our favorite days here at Kohler. This year we have decided to make it a little more fun. The last Friday of the month will be the days we have Parents join us both in the Morning and Afternoon. In the morning you can come from 8:10-8:40. During this time you can enjoy hanging with your students and reading time afte that you can meet in the Library for some coffee and updates with Mr. Durant. Then in the Afternoon you can come hang out with your student as they ENJOY FUN FRIDAY. This is the students favorite part of their day and they love when parents come hang out with them at school.
