Research has conclusively shown us that parent involvement in education benefits students, parents, teachers and schools, whether the program is at the preschool, elementary or high school level. Benefits of Parent Involvement for Students The benefits of parent involvement for students are: More positive attitudes toward school; Higher achievement in reading; Higher quality and more grade appropriate homework; Completion of more homework on weekends; and Observing more similarities between family and school. (Epstein, 1991) Benefits of Parent Involvement for Parents and Community The benefits of parent involvement for parents and community are: Receive ideas from school on how to help children;

Parent and Community Involvement Internet Resouces National Education goals for the year 2000 state that "every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children." These goals can be met through involvement on multiple levels and by multiple participants: Schools can involve parents in the decision-making process educating and training them in curriculum, budget, reform and other issues; facilitating their participation in course selection and student placement; and providing parents with current information on school policies and student performance. Teachers can help parents become more involved in the education of their children by integrating parent involvement activities into the curriculum and being sensitive to difficulties that may hinder their involvement. Parents can construct a relationship with schools and teachers through a variety of strategies , such as personal communication with teachers (notes, phone calls, meetings), asking the teachers for regular feedback (positive as well as negative), volunteering to assist with school activities, and monitoring their child's homework.

Both of those concerns are legitimate, and both are closely related to alcohol and other drugs, whether used by the student or by their fellow students. So parents deserve to know what schools are doing to curb alcohol and other drug use, and college administrators must be prepared to answer tough questions about their alcohol and other drug prevention policies and programs.
