Overview
Family and parent engagement yields significant benefits, including improved student academic achievement, higher graduation rates, better attendance, and enhanced social-emotional developmental development like increased self-esteem and better behavior. For families, engagement fosters better relationships with educators, improved confidence in supporting their child's learning, and increased access to community resources. For schools and educators, it builds a more welcoming community, improves teacher morale and retention, and leads to a more holistic approach to student well-being
