The ESOL night focused on inviting all families in order to provide various levels of trainings by the staff members of the school suggesting best ways for parents and significant others to be involved with their child's education to ensure success. The night was presented in multiple languages.
It is estimated that 70% of waking hours (including weekends and holidays) are spent outside of school suggesting that while it is critical to reach every student during the school day, there are many more hours of the day that are spent mainly in the student's home. Therefore, a strong home-school connection is crucial to the success of the student.
