School Committees
School committees offer an opportunity for parents, students, staff, and administrators to get involved in shaping the decisions that are made at the school level. Researcher Anne T. Henderson summarized it best in her findings on nearly 50 studies related to parental involvement and concluded:
School programs which have strong parent involvement produce students who perform better than otherwise identical programs that do not involve parents as thoroughly. Children whose parents help them at home and stay in touch with the school score higher than children of similar aptitude and family background. Also, schools where children are failing improve dramatically when parents are called in to assist.
These committees provide opportunities for parents to volunteer and serve as valuable assets to our schools and communities. If interested in participating, please call the contact number listed for each committee.
