For Parents and Guardians

Parent Support

Experience and research suggest that when parents and other adults show an interest in and support a child's education, the child's chances for academic success are greatly increased. Parent involvement and participation educational activities can often be a motivator for the child. Interest and support can raise his or her academic achievement, improve attitudes and performance, and foster better communication 

Parents can particpate in the Parent Advisory Board! If your interested in particpating, please contact the office!
