BACKGROUND: National Parent/Family Involvement Day is a partnership between San Diego Unified School District and the San Diego Unified Council of PTAs to recognize parents/families and the invaluable role they play in supporting a child’s learning at home and at school. Research indicates that when parents are strategically involved in children’s learning, student achievement significantly improves and schools are more effective.
To recognize the day, schools are encouraged to host celebrations that honor parents/guardians and facilitate further parent engagement. National Parent Involvement Day was started 20 years ago by Project Appleseed.
