MENU ABOUT US BOARD CEO DEPARTMENTS SCHOOLS PARTNERS NEWSROOM Students Parents Staff November is National Family Engagement Month. National Parent Involvement Day also occurs this month on Thursday, November 18th. Over 40 years of research clearly indicates all students achieve at higher levels when schools and families support each other. Research has shown that when schools and families are engaged in meaningful two-way communication and collaboration students have: More positive attitudes toward school Higher grades and test scores, which equals higher achievement Better attendance More homework completed Higher graduation rates Greater enrollment in post-secondary education This month and always, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District is grateful to parents and caregivers for the important role they play in their children’s education. It is also an opportunity to recognize that, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our schools, parents and caregivers have had to take on a more direct role in the education of their children. CMSD will do its best to ensure that this partnership continues to flourish and grow. To assist, we have provided links below for both parents and educators to explore. Families and educators, please share photographs and videos of CMSD family engagement programs, meetings and events on social media to show how families and schools are partnering to support student success.
