It is often said that parents are a child’s first teachers in life. It’s true! And by partnering with your child’s school team, we can support one another throughout their educational journey. RETSD TV is a way we can connect with you and share some tips from leaders across our division on ways you can support your children today—right now—with their learning. These are system leaders who assist the school leaders, teachers, and other support staff in our division and with whom you may not be as familiar. Because in RETSD, we all work together in partnership with you, so we can educate our students—your children—to be inspired, skilled, responsible citizens.
