Build your child's respect for school by remaining involved 
Family involvement not only teaches your child that school is important, but also helps him persevere and do his best. Research shows that when parents are involved in education, kids are more successful students. To build your child's respect for school:
1. Attend school events. Make parent-teacher conferences a priority. Put learning-related activities on the calendar, such as book fairs, parent workshops and class performances. Treat them like appointments. This shows your child that school is important to your family.
2. Be an advocate. Experts say when parents support kid's learning and speak up for them, kids do better in school and stay in school longer. They also have more confidence! It helps to set high expectations for your child, supervise homework time, promote healthy habits and get involved at school.
3. Connect learning to life. Help our child see how what he's learning affects daily life.
