The Board of Education, in collaboration with parents and school staff, must establish and maintain a relationship that affirms the value of parent involvement and reflects specific needs of students and families. Comprehensive programs of parent involvement require schools to engage parents at all levels in a variety of roles. Through this spirit of collaboration and partnership, the Board of Education seeks to enhance two-way communication between the family and the school. The Board of Education also supports the role of parents as their child's first teacher and encourages parent participation in all appropriate school programs. The Board of Education recognizes that a child's education is a responsibility shared by school and family.
Parents are diverse in culture, language and needs.
They overwhelmingly share the school's commitment to the educational success of their children.
