FULLER FAMILY NEWS

One of the strongest predictors of a child’s success in school isn’t something that happens only inside the classroom—it’s having families who are connected to and engaged with their child’s education.

Research on family-school partnerships consistently finds that when families are involved in their children’s learning, students tend to have stronger academic outcomes, better attendance, improved behavior, and more positive attitudes toward school. And involvement doesn’t have to mean spending hours volunteering on campus. It can be as simple as asking about the school day, reading together, checking a backpack, attending a conference or school event, communicating with the teacher, or celebrating the progress your child is making.

Most importantly, our children notice when the adults in their lives are working together.

When they see their families and their school communicating, showing up, and supporting one another, it sends a powerful message: Your education matters. Your school matters. And you matter.

At Fuller, we want our families to feel like more than visitors to our school. We want you to be partners. Attend a Fuller Family Gathering. Join us for a family event. Participate in PTO. Reach out to your child’s teacher. Ask questions. Celebrate with us. And when something isn’t going well, come talk with us so we can work through it together.

There is no perfect way to be an involved parent or caregiver. Families have jobs, responsibilities, schedules, and challenges that look very different from one home to another. What matters is being present in the ways that you can.

Schools can do incredible things for children, but we are at our best when we do this work with families, not simply for them.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for continuing to partner with us. Every conversation, every event, every conference, every question, and every moment you spend reinforcing the importance of school makes a difference.

After all, We are Fuller. We are Family. And family shows up for one another.

Our focus this coming year is student success in MATH! How can you help?

Parents don’t need to be math experts to help their child! Simple, everyday activities can build strong math skills and confidence.

• Count everyday objects. Count toys, steps, snacks, cars, or items going into the grocery cart.
• Practice math facts for a few minutes. Spend 5–10 minutes practicing addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division facts.
• Play games. Card games, dice games, dominoes, and board games are great for counting, adding, comparing numbers, and problem-solving.
• Cook together. Let your child measure ingredients, count scoops, use fractions, or double a recipe.
• Use money. Have your child count coins, estimate the cost of items, compare prices, or figure out change.
• Ask your child to estimate. Try questions like, “How many do you think are in the jar?” or “About how much will this cost?”
• Talk about time. Ask how many minutes until dinner, how long an activity lasted, or what time you need to leave.
• Look for shapes. Find circles, rectangles, triangles, cubes, and other shapes around the house or neighborhood.
• Compare things. Ask which item is longer, heavier, taller, greater, or smaller.
• Let your child help with shopping. Compare prices, count items, stay within a budget, or calculate the cost of multiple items.
• Ask, “How did you figure that out?” Encourage your child to explain their thinking instead of focusing only on getting the right answer.
• Have your child teach you. Ask them to show you how they learned to solve a problem at school.
• Use math in the car. Read numbers on signs, practice skip-counting, estimate travel time, or create mental-math problems.
• Celebrate effort and problem-solving. When math is challenging, praise your child for trying different strategies and sticking with it.
  
  

Most importantly: Keep it simple and positive. Just a few minutes of math during everyday routines can make a big difference!

These are our current students and how the finished the year in math achievement. We look forward to our new kinder students showing us everything they know and learn!
