Parental Involvement

WHAT IS PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT? For the first time, the US Department of Education has clearly defined Parent Involvement. “Parental Involvement” is the participation of parents in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including: Parents play an integral role in assisting their child’s learning. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education at school. Parents are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child.
