| Parent involvement is one of the most important aspects of every child's education. Parents who are involved make a difference every day.
Do you remember...? ...When your child was a baby, you sang him to sleep. When she was a toddler, you helped her paint a picture. Now that he or she is in school, the arts are just as important. Every child needs arts education to grow into a well-rounded individual. If our civilization is to continue to be both dynamic and nurturing, its success will ultimately depend on how well we develop the capacities of our children, not only to earn a living in a vastly complex world, but to live a life rich in meaning... We know from experiences that no one can claim to be truly educated who lacks basic knowledge and skills in the arts.

Advocacy Studies have shown that schools where parents are involved in decision making and advocacy have higher levels of student achievement and greater public support.Effective partnerships develop when each partner is respected and empowered to fully participate in the decision-making process. Schools and programs that actively enlist parent participation and input communicate that parents are valued as full partners in the educating of their children. Parents and educators depend on shared authority in decision-making systems to foster parental trust, public confidence, and mutual support of each other's efforts in helping students succeed. The involvement of parents, as individuals or as representative of others, is crucial in collaborative decision-making processes on issues from curriculum and course selection, to discipline policies and over-all school reform measures. The arts are a powerful stimulus to forge bonds between Parents, children and their schools. |
