As a parent, you are the most important influence in your child's success in school and in life.
 
GLOBALLY
Parent involvement in children’s education allows kids to perform better in school, and navigate more easily through some of the challenges of growing up, such as bullying.
Research proves that parent involvement has a positive effect on student success. When parents are involved in their children's education:
  • they achieve more.
  • schools perform better.
  • teacher moral even improves.
Ultimately, communities are stronger when parents get involved.
 
The results are conclusive: students whose parents are actively involved in their education do better at school, regardless of their family income and background. Specifically, students with involved parents have greater academic success, better attitudes about school, and fewer behavioral problems. This makes sense, since parents are the central figures in the lives of their children.
 
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is committed to excellence in education for all children. Toward that end the District is always looking for models of excellence and new ways to improve educating our children. There are currently instructional models within our traditional class settings that are doing much to prepare our children for college and new careers. However, one size doesn't fit all and we are always open to new and innovative solutions to continue our quest for the finest public education has to offer.
 
Students and families are demanding high quality schools and we share that same goal. We want all of our students to graduate and move on to become productive and contributing members of our community.
 
Success in educating our children begins with established partnerships between parents, teachers, administrators, bargaining units and the community at large. The District is committed to engaging parents and the community in the quest to create diverse options for high quality educational environments, with excellent teaching and learning, for students' academic success.
