Parent Involvement in
education means that principals and teachers invite all parents
and families to become involved in schools to help their
children reach success. Strong partnerships connect schools and
families in ways that support children’s success in school and
in their future.

Parent Involvement Research:
When families work with schools to support
learning, children tend to succeed in school and in life. It
doesn’t matter how much money the parents make, if they can:
-
Offer a home that
supports learning;
-
share
high, yet realistic, plans and
expectations for their children's learning and
careers; and
-
be involved in
their children's education at school and in the
community.”

All
families can have a positive influence on their
children’s learning. |
