The Lucy S. Herring Parent Team is an active group of parents and faculty members working together to provide quality education for our children. Lucy S. Herring welcomes and encourages all parents to volunteer and to participate at Parent Team meetings. Lucy S. Herring feels that parents are the key to better schools. Here are a few examples of how you, as a parent, can be involved at home or at school to benefit your child:

At Home
• Each day, ask your child to tell you three things they learned at school.
• Arrange a study time/place in your home for your child to use on a daily basis.
• Expect your child to complete homework assignments on time.
• Help your child when necessary by making sure that the  requirements are understood and by helping to gather necessary resource materials. 
• Use family time to discuss careers. It is never too early for children to begin thinking about careers and the education requirements.
• Let your child know that you value education.
• Let your child see you read books, magazines, and newspapers. Children need role models more than critics. You  are your child’s best role model.

 At School
• Attend school activities (especially those involving your child).
• Volunteer at your child’s school.
• Become an active member of the Parent Team.
• Assist with school extra-curricular activities.
• Convey to your child the importance of doing his or her best during state testing.
