Parental Involvement

Parental Involvement is a combination of commitment and active participation on the part of the parent to the school and to the student. A child's ideas about education and its significance begin with the parent and for students to achieve at a high level, parents must play an active role in the educational processes of their children.

Dr. Joyce Epstein - "When parents, teachers, students, and others view one another as partners in education, a caring community forms around students and begins its work."
