Families

We partner with families to encourage and support strong connections between home and school because there is a positive and convincing relationship between family involvement and student success.

Get involved in your Child's learning

When families are involved in their children’s learning both at home and at school, their children do better in school. The report also points to specific types of involvement as being especially beneficial to children’s academic success.

Family involvement improves student success, regardless of race/ethnicity, class, or parents’ level of education. For involvement to happen, however, principals, teachers, and parents themselves must believe that all parents can contribute to their children’s success in school.

Parents can promote their children’s academic success by:

• Teaching their children the importance of education.

• Finding out what their children are expected to know and to be able to do and reinforcing lessons at home.

• Sending their children to school ready to learn every day.
• Talking with their children about what they're doing at school.
• Tracking student progress on the Student Information System portal and asking questions about classroom assignments.
• Attending teacher conferences and parent information nights.
