Parent involvement is the key ingredient to student success and community support.
Educators all seem to acknowledge the importance of encouraging parents to take a more active part in educating their children. Even the public agrees. Administrators see parent involvement with fund-raising or advisory groups. Teachers see parent involvement as getting the children to school on time, attending meetings and conferences, helping with daily school work, and answering requests. Parents see their involvement as being advised of their children s progress and being welcomed at schools.
