One of the keys to student success and achievement is parent involvement. Research shows that students with involved parents score better on tests, earn higher grades, are more likely to attend classes and graduate, and are more likely to go on to postsecondary education. PTA provides many tools to encourage parent involvement. Among the tools are resources on communicating with teachers and schools. As you prepare for the back-to-school season, review the advice in the resources below to get the year off to a good start.
You can also find resources and ideas in PTA's Great Idea Bank, an online community of parents and PTA leaders sharing ideas on parenting, being involved in PTA, working with schools, and more. In addition, PTA will be publishing a family resource for dealing with tough economic times toward the end of June. Please check back or cost saving tips and advice on managing your money and time for the benefit of your children.
