One of the best ways to help your child is to help her teacher! Be a Grade Pal!

A Grade Pal is Peabody’s take on the room parent. You serve as a liason between the teacher and the rest of the parents in the classroom.  

It’s a great way to get to know your child’s teacher better and the rest of the parents in the class.

Just download this form, fill it out, and return to your child’s teacher.
