We foster parental involvement and community engagement to build partnerships that support student learning. We believe that parents play a vital role in the education of their children and in the success of schools.
Parent involvement can be done in a number of ways such as
- communicating
- helping students at home
- attending school events
- building parenting skills
- volunteering
- influencing decision-making.
