“No matter what the demographics, students are more likely to earn higher grades and test scores, attend school regularly, have better social skills, graduate and go on to post-secondary education when schools and families partner”

(Karen Mapp, Family Involvement Equals Student Success No Matter Background, August 2006)

"When schools view parents as partners and engage them in decision-making processes, they realize higher levels of student achievement and greater public support."  (DuFour & Eaker, 1998)
