As we advance in our mission to provide a first-rate educational experience for our students, it's imperative to acknowledge the critical role that parental involvement plays in this endeavor. A wealth of scientific research supports the profound impact that engaged parents have on a child's academic success and social development.
Studies indicate that children whose parents are actively involved in their education exhibit significantly better performance in their academic pursuits. For example, research from Michigan State University highlights that parental engagement is directly correlated with higher literacy rates and mathematical abilities in children. Furthermore, the National Education Association reports that when parents participate in their children's education, these students are more likely to achieve higher grades and test scores, attend school regularly, have better social skills, and adapt well to school environments.
At P.S. 192, we are committed to fostering this essential partnership. We understand that parental engagement should not only involve academic support but also encompass participation in school events, regular communication with teachers, and the nurturing of a supportive home environment that encourages the pursuit of education.
To support our parents, we provide various resources and workshops designed to empower you with the tools needed to effectively contribute to your child's educational journey. By reinforcing learning at home and maintaining open lines of communication with our educators, you help create a supportive network that significantly enhances educational outcomes.
We invite each of you to join us in this collaborative effort to shape the future of our students. Together, we can build a foundation of lifelong learning and ensure that all our students are equipped to succeed in their educational endeavors and beyond.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment and participation in our school community. Your involvement is invaluable, and together, we are making a significant difference in the lives of our students.
Warm regards,
Hilduara Abreu
