NEW Family Math Night Spanish Banner

NEW Family Math Night Spanish Banner

Comments 0 Comment

I’m happy to share with you that we now offer our Family Math Night promotional banner* in Spanish! Just hang your banner a few weeks before your event to remind families about your Family Math Night. What’s nice about the banner is that, just like the English version, you can use it over and over. We’ve included a special dry erase area where you can write in the date, time, and location of your event. Each vinyl banner has 4 sturdy grommets making it easy to hang.

We hope this helps those of you with a high Spanish population be better able to reach out to these families.

  • have higher grades and test scores
  • attend school regularly
  • have better social skills
  • show improved behavior
  • adapt well to school

Today’s schools know that educating our children requires a team effort and that building connections between families and schools is key to developing academic achievement for all children. One way to build these connections is through Family Math Night events. Hosting a Family Math Night can help build strong family-school partnerships, engage parents meaningfully, and contribute to achieving high standards.

Here’s another way to get your families to your Family Math Night event: Reminder Stickers! I designed these for the primary grades but they can really be used for anyone.

But first, you’ll need to fill in your specific information such as the date, place and time. Clicking…
