As a parent, what are they key things I should emphasize in the parent statement?

Instead of praising your child (although there’s nothing wrong with that) in the parent statement, focus on showing that you understand what Head-Royce stands for. Mention how you appreciate their commitment to education, their community spirit, maybe even their mission and how these resonate with your family. Share stories of how your family embodies similar values and how you would like to grow in their community. This shows that you have thoughtfully chosen Head-Royce to be your partner in your child’s educational journey. Show admissions officers that you are on the same page in wanting only the best for your child.
