Get involved 

There are many opportunities for parents, families and community members to get involved in the education process and help students succeed.

Research indicates that the most accurate indicator of a student's academic success in school isn't tied to family income or social status, but the extent to which a family:

• Creates a home environment that encourages learning.
• Sets high but realistic achievement and career expectations.
• Is involved in the child's education and in the community.

In addition, when parents are actively involved with a child's education, the student is more likely to have higher grades, greater self esteem and to be socially well adjusted.
