Your involvement helps your child.

According to noted involvement experts Anne Henderson and Karen Mapp, in their compendium of research A New Generation of Evidence: The Family Is Critical to Student Achievement, dozens of studies support the same conclusion:

"Programs with strong parent involvement produce students who perform better than otherwise identical programs that do not involve parents as thoroughly, or that do not involve them at all. Schools that relate well to their communities have student bodies that outperform other schools. Children whose parents help them at home and stay in touch with the school score higher than children of similar aptitude and family background whose parents are not involved. Schools where children are failing improve dramatically when parents are called in to help."
