The general categories of partnerships that exist between schools, families, and communities. They are:

Communications: The use of effective forms for school-to-home- and home-to-school

communications

Volunteering: The recruitment and organization of the school’s volunteer program

Learning at Home: Helping families assist their children with homework and recognizing other

learning at home opportunities

Decision making: Including parents, students, and community members in the school decision

making process

Collaborating with the Community: The identification and integration of resources and services

from the community.

Community involvement in schools:

Schools, parents, and the community should work together to promote the health, well being, and learning

of all students. When schools actively involve parents and engage community resources they are able to

respond more effectively to the health-related needs of students.

Family and community involvements foster partnerships among schools, family and community groups,

and individuals. These partnerships result in sharing and maximizing resources. And they help children

and youth develop healthy behaviors and promote healthy families.

Research shows that students whose parents are involved in their education are more likely to:

Adapt well to school

Attend school more regularly

Complete homework more consistently

Earn higher grades and test scores

Graduate and go on to college

Have better social skills

Show improved behavior

Have better relationships with their parents
