Circle time at Hilltop Nursery School
The Michigan Board of Education compiled an impressive list of the extensive benefits of being involved with your child’s school, with a special focus on a child’s academic success.
Some key findings include:
- When parents come to school regularly, it reinforces the view in the child’s mind that school and home are connected and that school is an integral part of the whole family’s life.
- The more parents participate in schooling, in a sustained way, at every level — in advocacy, decision-making and oversight roles, as fundraisers and boosters, as volunteers and para-professionals, and as home teachers — the better for student achievement.
We know that academic success is just one piece of the puzzle. But these facts, figures and findings help support what we’ve known at Hilltop for a long time — that the time, energy and enthusiasm we put into our children’s education, even at its earliest, matters.
