As children enter high school, parents may feel they should restrict their communication and connection to their children’s school in order to respect their children’s growing autonomy. Actually, the Vancouver School Board, the BC Teachers Federation, and Kits PAC encourage you to stay involved with your children’s schooling throughout high school.
