Parent Self-Assessment

The parent is the child’s most important teacher.  Schools recognize this and act as partners and provide parents with support and assistance in being involved with their child’s education.  Home-school partnerships help strengthen a child’s academic performance.  Parental involvement is critical to a child’s success in school.

 

To determine your level of involvement, please take this self-assessment provided below.
