Gordon Parks’ parents joined staff to develop the following ideas about how families can support student success. 

• Talk to your student, ask them about what they are learning or what they are struggling with. Share your experiences in school and why you think education is important.
• Sign up for and check Parent Portal frequently. Parent Portal is a onestop shop, where you record your participation and can check grades, attendance, lunch menus and so much more. For directions, go to our directions page. For even more information, contact Monica at 651-744-1212 or email monica.wandrick@spps.org
• Contact teachers and counselors to track your student’s progress:

A-L     Mr. Kennedy    651-744-5106

M-Z    Mr. Her             651-744-1247

• Attend as many classes as possible. 

• Work with other families to revise the School Continuous Improvement Plan (SCIP) and the Family Engagement Plan(FEP). More information about these can be found by clicking the hyperlinks.
