PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND PARENTAL RIGHTSPARENTAL INVOLVEMENTParental involvement is the participation of parents in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving studentacademic learning and other school activities. The purpose is to ensure that parents play an integral role in their child’slearning and are active in their child’s education at school. Both experience and research tell us that a child’s educationsucceeds best when there is good communication and a strong partnership between home and school. Yourinvolvement in this partnership may include: Encouraging your child to put a high priority on education and working with your child on a daily basis to make themost of the educational opportunities the school provides. Ensuring that your child completes all homework assignments and special projects and comes to school each dayprepared, rested, and ready to learn. Becoming familiar with all of your child’s school activities and with the academic programs, including specialprograms, offered in the district. Discussing with the counselor or principal any questions you may have about the options and opportunities availableto your child. Reviewing the requirements of the graduation programs with your child, if your child is entering ninth grade. Monitoring your child’s academic progress and contacting teachers as needed. Attending scheduled conferences and requesting additional conferences as needed. Becoming a school volunteer. See Reg. GKG-R and Volunteers in Schools. Participating in parent workshops and trainings. Participating in campus parent organizations. Serving as a parent representative on a school or district committee. Attending board meetings to learn more about district operations.PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT POLICY AND SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACTThe district has adopted a Parental Involvement Policy/Plan (see policy EHBD) and schools have developed a SchoolParental Involvement Policy in consultation with parents to ensure the effective involvement of parents and to support apartnership among the school, parents, and the community to improve student academic achievement. This includescommitments to provide parents with information about academic standards, teacher qualifications, and how parents canhelp children work with their children to improve their achievement. All schools must develop jointly with, agree on with,and distribute to, parents a written School-Parent Compact. The compact outlines how parents and the school staff willshare the responsibility for improved student academic achievement. Parents are urged to read, sign, and return to theirschool the School-Parent Compact.PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT COORDINATOR OR PARENT LIAISONSThe district has designated a Parent Involvement Coordinator to work with parents in becoming involved in their child’seducation at home and at school.
