Parent Involvement

Parent Involvement

Overview

Parent, family, and community involvement in education correlates with higher academic performance and school improvement. When schools, parents, families, and communities work together to support learning, students tend to earn higher grades, attend school more regularly, stay in school longer, and enroll in higher level programs.

At John Still K-8, we welcome parents as partners. We believe students perform better and are more successful when their parents are actively engaged in their learning. We are committed to partnering with you as you guide and support your student.
