2008-2009 PATHS Board

We invite all parents, guardians, teachers, and staff to participate and support PATHS activities and programs. It’s a great way to meet others and to be involved with your child’s school.

Our mission is to support the educational and social environments at MCJHS. We show this support in a variety of ways, and it takes many people to fill the needs.

So come, join the fun!!

Tips for Parents!

Parents often feel uncertain about how to approach their adolescent or the school when their teenager seems to be having difficulty. However, it is important to remember that adolescents need their parents not only to set appropriate expectations and boundaries, but also to advocate for them.

To be effective in this regard, parents may:

·         Emphasize the importance of study skills, hard work and follow-through at home and in school.

·         Arrange tutoring or study support for the teenager at the school or in the community through organizations such as the local YMCA or a local college or university.

·         Become more involved in school activities by attending school functions, such as sporting events, concerts, science fairs and plays, to show their support for the school.

·         Help the teenager think about career options by arranging for visits to local companies and colleges, providing information about careers and vocational or college courses, and encouraging the teenager to participate in an internship or a career-oriented part-time job.

·         Encourage the teenager to volunteer in the community or to participate in community groups such as scouting, 4-H, religious organizations or other service-oriented groups to provide an out-of-school support system.
