Decades of research confirm the benefits of family involvement, including:
• Improved test scores and grades,
• Increased attendance and graduation rates, and
• Better social skills.
Family involvement is the key to achievement for all children! The theme will be “Increase Student Performance by Strengthening Family & School Relationships.” Participants will learn about and dialogue on key parent involvement topics:
• The fundamentals and benefits of effective parent involvement
- How to make families feel welcome, valued, and engaged
• Strategies for effective parent-school communication
- How to connect with parents limited by language, work schedules, technology, etc.
• Education resources for parents
Visit on-site with community agencies to learn how they can help your school’s families. Participants will leave with strategies and resources to improve their students’ academic achievement through increased family involvement.
