ENGLISH DEPARTMENTPARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
AS PARENT & TEACHERS IN EAST RAMAPO

successful
We must take responsibility
THE PROBLEM
Middle School age students are vulnerable. They require a support system of both parents and teachers. However, sometimes it is difficult for us to keep in contact.
In today’s society the value of education is underestimated.
Due to busy schedules parents are unable to attend PTA meetings and other school events.
Education is not carrying over into the home.

parents to be aware of the educational
