Parent/family involvement is the participation of parents in every facet of the education and development of children from birth to adulthood, recognizing that parents are the primary influence in their children's lives. Effective parent involvement takes many forms, including:
- Student learning
- School decision making and advocacy
- Collaborating with the community
