Family-School Partnership

 
 
Parents play a vital role in the education of their children. Children need parents who are active and involved in their education. Everyone benefits from parent involvement: the child, the parents, the school and the community.  The resources below provide parents with helpful information as they partner with teachers to provide the best possible education for their children.
