Message to Parents

As a parent, you play a strong role in helping your child succeed in school. Research tells us that when parents engage their children in educational activities in the home, it better prepares them for the challenges they will experience in their classrooms and beyond. Opelika City Schools is proud to offer a place where you can go to learn more about parenting and family literacy. Our website includes the quarterly newsletter Classroom Connections, online resources on a variety of educational topics, and Title I NCLB information. We hope you find this feature helpful.

No Child Left Behind

As building leader, meeting the demanding requirements of No Child Left Behind falls most heavily on you, the principal. Are you aware that you have a powerful ally in your school library media specialist? A variety of credible studies prove that schools with good library programs have students who do better academically as measured by standardized test scores. 1 So does common sense. As administrators, you should not be asking yourselves if you should be devoting resources to improving test scores or to improving library programs. Improved library programs do equal improved test scores—and more. You may never meet the ambitious NCLB literacy goal of 100% by 2013, but effective library programs will get you closer to that goal. The school library program is your effective partner in helping create those changes. Read on to discover how well supported library programs can specifically and effectively advance your building’s NCLB goals.
