Parent/Guardian Expectations

Studies indicate that students succeed best when the students, parents/guardians, and schools work together. Parents/guardians of those students selected to enroll in the Melvindale Early College should be fully prepared to:

• I will support my child’s daily attendance and notify the school in the event of an absence.
• I will provide time each day for my child to study in a quiet environment.
• I will work with my student to help him/her develop a sound educational plan for his/her future.
  • I will regularly review grades, report cards and academic progress with my child with both the high school and college.
  • I will attend and participate in parent/teacher conferences at Melvindale High School.
• I understand that acceptance into the MEC requires a commitment through my student’s 13th year of schooling.
• I understand that a high school completion requirement of a math class or a math related course (identified) must be taken during the 13th year at WCCC.
• I understand that acceptance into the MEC requires a commitment through my student’s 13th year of schooling.
• I will communicate any questions with the Melvindale Early College Director.

As the parent/guardian of a Melvindale student, you are an important partner as your student strives for success.
