Why should I care about Family and Community involvement in schools?

Schools, parents, and the community should work together to promote the health, well being, and learning of all students. When schools actively involve parents and engage community resources they are able to respond more effectively to the health-related needs of students.

Family and community involvements foster partnerships among schools, family and community groups, and individuals. These partnerships result in sharing and maximizing resources. And they help children and youth develop healthy behaviors and promote healthy families.

Research shows that students whose parents are involved in their education are more likely to:

Adapt well to school
Attend school more regularly
Complete homework more consistently
Earn higher grades and test scores
Graduate and go on to college
Have better social skills
Show improved behavior
Have better relationships with their parents
Have higher self-esteem

Additionally, linking community activities to the classroom

Improves school-related behaviors
Positively impacts academic achievement
Reduces school suspension rates
