FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
What Is Family/Parent Involvement?
Why Does Family/Parent Involvement Matter?
How can I get involved?
Parents, you can influence the success of your student in school more than any teacher or federal program. By becoming an active participant in the Title I parent involvement plan at your school, you will:
Serve as a role model, showing your student that you support his/her education.
Assure that you are aware of your student’s educational progress; thereby demonstrating how important that progress is to you.
Teach your student that your input at the school is appreciated and that you support its efforts.
What does research tell us?
Research shows that how well students do in school depends a great deal upon how much their parents get involved in their education. You can become more involved by:
Reading with your child and talking about the books and stories you read
Helping your child with homework assignments
Tutoring your child with materials and instructions provided by teachers or resources found on-line
Attending parent-teacher conferences
Communicating with your student’s teacher
Continuing to be involved as your child is in middle and high school
Being an advocate for your child to make sure that his/her needs are being met
