Use the National PTA Standards as a guide . Use these PTA standards to evaluate what your school is doing and to identify areas you would like to strengthen for working with families, especially fathers. Parenting Parenting skills are promoted and supported. Student Learning Parents play an integral role in assisting student learning. Volunteering Parents are welcome in the school, and their support and assistance are sought.
Parents are full partners in the decisions that affect children and families.
Collaborating with Community Community resources are used to strengthen schools, families, and student learning. Provide nonresident fathers with student progress reports and other important information as well as the mother. Mothers and fathers should know they are welcome at school and should receive communications from school. If mother and father live in the same home, address school notices to both of them not just to the mother. If one parent does not live in the same home as the child, that parent should also receive notices from the school unless there is a legal reason to the contrary.
