Parental involvement during the elementary years is vital in helping children attain academic success. Parent involvement tends to peak while the children are in the elementary school. The research also shows that the earlier parental involvement begins in a child's educational process, the more powerful the effects will be. Educators frequently point out the critical role of the home and family environment in determining a child's school success. It appears that the earlier this influence is instilled, the greater the likelihood of higher student achievement. There appears to be a relationship between the age of the child and the forms of parental involvement. Greater efforts to involve parents are seen at the preschool and primary levels. Efforts here focus on assisting in the classroom and reading to children at home.
Parental involvement at the elementary level requires work, dedication, and commitment from all parties involved. While some parents of grade-school level students may feel that "involvement" stops at bringing the children to and from school, those parents who immerse themselves in their child's education know that they must go much further. At the elementary level, using learning activities in the home helps promote academic skills. Students at this age level need the constant reinforcement of rudimentary skills to promote higher learning. Although children spend the bulk of their day at school learning to read and conceptualizing their thoughts with their teacher, learning should go beyond the classroom.
Knowing that parent involvement is vital to student success, Northgate Intermediate works with a school ’s Family Ambassador (formally known as Parent Consultant) in the building to improve parent involvement. The Family Ambassador’s main goals are to work collaboratively with other parents, principal, counselor and staff to develop parent engagement activities as well as being a liaison for you (the parent) to communicate strategies and ideas to improve the overall climate of the school. Ms. Skipper (Northgate’s Family Ambassador) is at the building Tuesday-Thursday and can be reached at 614-365-8815 if you have ideas, questions or concerns.
