Parental Engagement: Strengthening the Home-School Connection

Collaboration between parents and schools is critical to optimizing student potential. Active parental involvement not only improves the educational experience, but it also deepens the home-school relationship, establishing a supportive community.

Research shows that parental involvement positively impacts academic achievement, social skills, and emotional well-being. According to the National Education Association, students with engaged parents earn higher grades, attend school regularly, have better social skills, and exhibit improved behavior.

A Harvard Family Research Project meta-analysis found:

1. Higher Grades: Students with involved parents scored 16% higher on standardized tests.

2. Improved Attendance: Parental engagement reduced absenteeism by 20%.

3. Enhanced Social Skills: Engaged parents improved children’s social skills by 15%.

Strategies for Strengthening Parental Engagement

Regular Communication: Weekly emails and parent-teacher meetings keep parents informed about assignments and student progress.

Parent Involvement in Activities: Events like “Family Science Night” engage parents in their children’s education.

Volunteer Programs: Schools with active volunteer programs see a 25% increase in parent involvement.

Workshops and Training: Sessions on “Helping with Homework” and “Digital Learning Tools” empower parents.

Leveraging Technology: Google Classroom enhances communication and engagement. 70% of parents feel more connected through these platforms.

A 2017-18 survey by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) found that many schools offer various opportunities for parent engagement, such as open houses, parent-teacher conferences, and volunteer opportunities, which have led to high levels of parent participation. This survey highlighted that 97% of schools held open houses, and 92% had regular parent-teacher conferences​
