Parent Engagement Strategies

Parent engagement is a crucial yet often overlooked component of a successful educational environment. When parents are involved, students achieve more, exhibit more positive attitudes and behavior, and feel more comfortable in their learning environments. Conversely, lack of parent engagement can lead to lower student performance and satisfaction, potentially impacting your school district's funding and reputation. This day of the summit is dedicated to sharing successful strategies for boosting parent engagement. Avoid the potential pitfalls and costs of disengaged parents by learning from those who have done it best.
