Overview
We believe that when parents are involved as partners in their child's school activities and academics that the child tends to show a greater level of achievement. It has been shown in research that parental involvement leads to higher test scores, grades, attendance, and assignment completion. Parental involvement encourages a positive attitude and behavior from the student. Parental support and involvement also increases graduation rates and enrollments in post-secondary institutions. Research shows that parents of special needs students or disadvantaged children tend to perform at higher levels when parents become involved. (Top)
