Parents are their child’s first and most important teachers from birth through high school. In fact, studies show that when parents are involved in a child’s education, children have higher grades, better behavior at school, and are more likely to graduate from high school and continue with post-secondary education. 

There are many ways that families can be involved in a child’s education, whether that is joining the school’s parent-teacher organization or simply helping children develop a homework routine. Parental involvement looks different in every family.
