PTA COMMITMENT AND PARENT INVOLVEMENT Parent involvement is the cornerstone of every PTA.

Involved, caring, and committed parents make successful, active members. Studies of parent involvement overwhelmingly confirm it has a positive effect on children's well-being and academic achievement. But parent involvement and commitment also benefit teachers, schools, communities, and the parents themselves. Research on parent involvement finds that parents who are actively involved in their ch

ildren's education also become more involved in community activities than they had before. Involved parents develop more positive attitudes towards schools and teachers, help gather support for schools, and bring additional resources to benefit the schools. Involved parents also develop increased self-confidence and a more positive self-image. Parent involvement is the key to strengthening and commitment to your PTA, your school, and your community.
