Why is it important to be involved at the middle school level?

​

According to research by the US Dept of Education: Active involvement by parents outweighs and offsets some other factors that may affect student success.

  • Get to know teachers - not just one. Be proactive!
  • Read all info on school policies, curriculum and communications carefully - There is LOTS of information sent out via Parent Square. The Website is a source of information too.
  • Keep informed about your student’s grades and test results. (ParentVue)
  • Get to know other parents.
  • Volunteer on campus and/or with PTSA.
