The importance of staying engaged

Research has shown students with engaged parents are more likely to have higher self-esteem, lower absenteeism, and earn higher grades or test scores. And as students head back to the classroom for a new school year, staying involved and informed is crucial. It has also never been easier with the advancements in educational technology.

Did you know that when a parent is engaged in their child’s education, it can directly lead to their academic success?

Research has shown students with engaged parents are more likely to have higher self-esteem, lower absenteeism, and earn higher grades or test scores. And as students head back to the classroom for a new school year, staying involved and informed is crucial. It has also never been easier with the advancements in educational technology.

A top way for parents to stay engaged…downloading and accessing the Campus Parent mobile app (and web platform). Campus Parent enables parents/guardians to understand, monitor, and participate in the educational process anywhere and at any time.

With Campus Parent you can:

  • View attendance records and submit absence requests

  • Learn what your child is studying in class

  • Check grades

  • See assignments and upcoming test schedules

  • Be notified of events and announcements

  • Discover what your kid ate for lunch each day

Outside of the Campus Parent app, there are many additional ways to keep connected, including:

  • Regular check-ins with your children

  • Attending school events

  • Volunteering in the classroom

  • Parent-teacher conferences

Whether you’re a parent or guardian of a student, your involvement can make a profound difference in learning outcomes. We encourage you to get engaged to help support your student in their academic journey.
