Research Corner

I will be working on increasing parental involvement on our campus this coming school year. Parents of middle school students often spend much less time actively involved in their child's education than they did in elementary school. The type of involvement may need to grow and change, but active parental involvement is still essential to a student's success. I will be looking for ways and opportunities to draw parents into their child's educational experience. Some of the things I plan to develop or work on this year are creating a Parent Newsletter, conducting monthly Parent Meetings, and increasing the use of the school Website. I plan to use action research to help me develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the activities and ensure that I'm meeting the needs of the parents, students, teachers, and administrators on our campus.
