PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN EDUCATION
The Governing Board believes that parent/guardian involvement is an
important part of the educational program. Current research indicates that a
home-school partnership and greater involvement on the part of
parents/guardians in the education of their children generally results in
higher achievement scores, improved student behavior and reduced
absenteeism. All parents/guardians of students enrolled in programs operated
by the Governing Board are encouraged to take an active role in the
education of their children.
The Governing Board directs the administration to develop the necessary
regulations to ensure that this policy is followed and that parent/guardian
involvement is encouraged. The regulations will:
1. encourage strong home-school partnerships;
2. provide for consistent and effective communication between the
parents/guardians and school officials;
3. offer parents/guardians ways to assist and encourage their children to do
their best;
4. offer ways parents/guardians can support classroom learning activities
and
5. provide opportunities for parents/guardians to be involved in the
parental involvement program.
