FOR THE PARENTS
Whether you have a child currently enrolled in Vincent Technical High School or are considering online education, it’s important to recognize your role as a parent in this learning environment.
​
The parent—or academic coach—is to provide organization and structure, create a proper learning environment, and promote consistency in the learning process. Parents also act as learning companions, facilitators, and advocates for their children. They help build and sustain a positive relationship with the school and work closely with teachers to ensure a successful learning experience.
VTHS Parent Connect
Our regional Facebook groups allow you to connect with other families in your area. These groups are a great way to set up meet-and-greets or look for feedback and recommendations from families with shared interests.
​
Parents are also invited to attend the monthly Community Connections events, which are designed to give parents a way to connect with one another and share stories, ask questions, and offer recommendations.
​
Finally, our Parent Ambassadors are devoted parents willing and able to answer questions, swap stories, and share tips on navigating this new online learning process. They come from all over the world, have students enrolled in various grade levels, and are involved in various extracurricular activities. The one thing they all have in common—they’re proud to be a part of the community!
