Parental Involvement

Eastmont Community School is teacher-directed and recognizes the importance of an involved family in each child’s education. The school encourages volunteer hours of each family.

Parental involvement is a powerful influence on a child’s education. Research shows that when parents are involved:

• Students achieve more
• Students have higher grades and test scores, better attendance, and complete homework more consistently
• Students exhibit positive attitudes and behavior
• Students have higher graduation rates and greater enrollment rates in post-secondary education.

Eastmont Community School encourages parental involvement for these additional reasons:

• Parents enjoy being involved.
• The school offers a variety of ways for parents to be involved.
• Each family has something to offer the school within their own areas of talent and expertise.
• Using parent volunteers helps to lower school operating costs.
