Research shows that regardless of the economic, ethnic, or cultural background of the family, when parents are involved in their children’s education, students have …

• Higher grades, test scores, and graduation rates

• Better school attendance

• Increased motivation

• Better self-esteem

• Lower rates of suspension

• Decreased use of drugs and alcohol

When you are involved, your child achieves more!
