Deaf Kids Talk

JWPOSD promotes and strongly encourages active parent involvement including participation in class, therapy and school wide activities. Parental involvement is an integral component to each child’s success.

Our highly qualified staff provides education and guidance to parents so that they can support their child in developing independence and self sufficiency. 

Parents participate in daily morning music as well as observe and participate in speech therapy and volunteer in their child’s class each week. The staff is always flexible to meet the needs of parents and their busy schedules. 

All instructional departments have an open door policy with parents. Parents are encouraged to make arrangements with the teacher or therapist before observing, but are welcome to drop in any time.  

Parents are also encouraged to participate by involvement in parent-teacher conferences which are held annually and upon request by the parent, teacher or principal during the school year; triennial and annual IEP meetings; and staffings for students who need additional educational or social/emotional interventions.

Parent education is an important component of JWPOSD. Parent education classes are held every week in the morning by our qualified staff members on various aspects of children’s learning and development.

Evening parent meetings which focus on issues relating to family, education, mainstreaming is held throughout the year.
