GET INVOLVED!
Research has shown that a major factor attributing to student success is parental involvement. Sometimes it is hard to believe that your children actually want you to be involved when they try to convince you otherwise. So, what can you do? Get involved! One way is simply by joining the PTA. You decide how much more involved you want to be after that.
