    Parents

    At Ephesus Junior Academy, we recognize that involving parents in the care and schooling of their children helps parents, teachers and the children themselves. Most importantly,our students have better academic and social outcomes because their parents and teachers work well together.

     

    We encourage parent participation in every step of the journey. Our parents are a valuable asset in the education of our student. Parents who get involved are more likely to understand and support constructive approaches that are being used with a child, and will support these strategies at home.

     

    We applaud and thank our parents. We encourage parent to become apart of the Home and School organization and get involved.
