Parent Engagement

Parent engagement is crucial to the health and well-being of a child. As a parent, you are the most important influence in your child's success in school and in life. In this role, you have a fresh opportunity every day to become engaged with your child. A parent’s engagement in children’s education allows kids to perform better in school, and navigate more easily some of the challenges of growing up. PTA is committed to being the leading resource for parent engagement; helping parents become and stay engaged in the lives of their children. Review these webpages and learn about how you as a parent can make a difference in your child's life; and if you have ideas of your own that you can share to help other parents, please e-mail to me.
