Research shows that children are more likely to succeed academically and are less likely to engage in violent behavior if their families are involved in their education.

 How can parents get involved?

Involvement in your child's education can mean:

• Reading to your child
• Checking homework every night
• Discussing your children's progress with teachers
• Voting in school board elections
• Helping your school to set challenging academic standards
• Limiting TV viewing on school nights
• Becoming an advocate for better education in your community and state.
