WHY PARENT INVOLVEMENT?
Decades of research show that when parents are involved students have:
Higher grades, test scores, and graduation rates Better school attendance
Increased motivation, better self-esteem
Lower rates of suspension Decreased use of drugs and alcohol
Fewer instances of violent behavior

PARENT INVOLVEMENT IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS
Parents of middle school students often report feeling that children should:
Do homework alone, and that the parents shouldn't try to help if they're not experts in the subject.
Middle schools are larger and more impersonal than most elementary schools.
Organizing a middle school so that at least one person knows each child well,
Keeping a "parent room" in the building.
And sponsoring parent-to-parent communication and events are key parts of an effective parent-involvement program in the middle grades (Berla, Henderson, & Kerewsky, 1989).
