Parent Involvement

Parent involvement is crucial to the health and well-being of a child. As a parent, you are the most important influence in your child's success in school and in life. In this role, you have a fresh opportunity every day to get involved with your child.

Parent involvement in children’s education allows kids to perform better in school, and navigate more easily some of the challenges of growing up, such as bullying.

We offer comprehensive resources for helping parents get involved and stay involved in the lives of their children.  Look through these parent involvement categories and learn about new ways you can make a difference in your child's life.
