The Parent and Family Involvement Tool Kit for Virginia Schools provides resources to improve student outcomes through parent and family involvement. Schools and the educators who staff them are one of the first places parents and families turn to in looking for information. In this tool kit you will find online resources that you can share with parents and family members to encourage and support their involvement in the education of their children. Parents play a vital role in their children’s education. Studies show a strong correlation between family involvement and student outcomes, including academic achievement. This relationship holds true for families of all economic, racial/ethnic, and educational backgrounds and for students of all ages, with or without disabilities.
