Parent Involvement
We have many opportunities for parents to get involved. You will gain hours to complete your required 30 Parent Volunteer Hours; however, the most important reason is that you will be making a positive impact on Pacoima Charter School.
We strive to increase parental involvement since that is linked to many benefits for students including:
- Higher Grades and Test Scores
- Better attendance and more homework done
- Increased commitment to school
- More positive behavior and attitudes
- Higher graduation rates
- Increased likelihood of higher education
Parents and caregivers also benefit from parental involvement:
- Increased life skills and self-sufficiency
- Improved family communication
- Partner with the school and shape decisions to improve children’s school success
- Learn more about our resources
- Increase home-learning activities
The school benefits of parental involvement are:
- Improved teacher morale
- More support from families
- Higher student achievement
- Improved school climate
- Improved discipline
- Better reputation in the community
- More community attachment
