Students Do Better When Families Get Involved

Many students’ families believe they're too busy to get involved at school. But engagement doesn't have to take a lot of time. And any involvement on your part can make a big difference to your teen.

Here are some ideas to consider:

Tour the school. This will give you a better understanding of what your teen is talking about when you discuss school activities.
Volunteer. There are many things families can do to benefit all students at the school. You might help with a club or activity, for example, or chaperone or sell tickets for a school event. You can also volunteer to do tasks at home.
Attend school events, whenever possible, especially those involving your teen. It will mean a lot to your student and the school.
Attend workshops for families that are held by the school. These might be in person or online. Or offer to help plan one on a topic that interests you.
Keep in touch with teachers. Ask them how you can help your teen learn at home. Tell them about any big changes in your student's life.
Join parent-teacher organizations or parent advisory groups.
