PARENT ASSOCIATION

Parent Associations (PAs) can take many forms, from informal to highly organized groups. Each group has a different purpose; generally, PTOs are intended to increase parent involvement and facilitate parent-teacher communications.

Parent Association

The purpose of parent involvement in PA is to fulfill a crucial role in student spirit and the school environment. According to PTO Today, when parents are involved in a child’s education, both at home and at school, children perform better academically. This includes higher grades and test scores, improved attendance, better social skills, fewer behavioral problems, and a tendency to graduate and continue their education.
