6 Ways Families Can Get Involved
To Increase Student Success
Learning at Home: to provide tools to families to assist their children with homework, curriculum-related activities, and guidance in behavior and decision making.
Parenting: to assist families to understand the developmental pathways, child and adolescent development, parenting skills, and setting home conditions to support children as students.
Communicating: to ensure effective communications from home-to school and from school-to-home about school programs, student expectations, and student progress.
Volunteering: to organize audiences to support school activities, and volunteers to work at the school that include mentoring and tutoring opportunities that support student achievement.
Leadership/Decision Making: to develop family leaders and community representatives, and to include family members as participants in school decisions.
Collaborating with the Community: to coordinate resources and services from the community for families, students, and the school; and to provide service to the community.
