Whether this is your child's first day at school, he is starting a new school or you are concerned about health, safety, academic or social problems, you will find all the information you are looking for.

But national research also has proven that when parents are involved, students achieve more. Grades, behavior, attitudes, attendance and graduation rates all improve.
