Parent Shadow Program Parent Shadows are requested as an alternative to suspension. After meeting with a staff member in the morning, the parent is expected to spend the entire school day observing and attending class with their child. Benefits: Reinforces the “team concept” where the child, parent and school work together towards a common goal. Improve parental involvement/communication. Student is able to receive instruction and not miss a day of school. Deterrent for other students.
