Parental involvement is the key to student academic achievement. Studies have shown that when schools and families work together, students are inclined to succeed not just in school, but also throughout life.

Such engagement of families is critical not only in the very beginning of the educational process but throughout a child’s entire academic career.

Atlanta Public Schools strives to provide schools and families with the tools and resources needed to form effective partnerships that result in student success.
