The materials are sent home to the parents of each student in the selected classroom.
No one is singled out and the materials serve to reinforce good parenting as well as teach and inform. Parents view and react to the materials in the privacy of their own homes and return their unsigned evaluation form to the school.  (All materials are available in English & Spanish)
