Why is Parent Involvement Important?

Schoolwide Title 1 programs count on parent support.  Decades of research show that when parents are involved, students have:

• higer grades, test scores, and graduation rate.
• better school attendance
• increased motivation, better self-esteem
• lower rates of suspension
• decreased use of drugs and alcohol
• fewer instances of violent behavior

You can become more involved by:

• joining our PTSA
• volunteering at our school
• attending the Anual Title 1 Meeting, parent-teacher conferences, family nights, and other events
• communicating with your child's teacher on a regular basis
• keeping your child's teacher informed about events in your child's life which may affect his or her performance at school

By becoming an active participant, you will:

• serve as a role model, showing your child that you support his or her education
• assure that you are aware of your child's progress, demonstrating to your child how important that progress is to you
• teach your child that your input at the school is appreciated and that you support your school's efforts

As part of the Title I parental involvement policy (Section 1118 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965), each school receiving Title I funds, develops a school-parent compact that outlines how parents, the entire school staff, and students will share responsibility for improving student achievement. Also, each Title I school must jointly develop and distribute its own written parental involvement policy. This policy will specify that the school will:

• convene an annual meeting to explain the Title 1 program
• offer a flexible number of meetings
• involve parents in the planning, review, and improvement of Title 1 programs
• provide timely information about the school curricula, assessment data, and student achievement
