Going beyond the School Doors: Home-School Partnerships

Over the first 18 years of life, students spend a large portion of their time in school and at home. Having a good relationship between the adults at home and school is vital for the success of children throughout their schooling. This relationship can often feel one sided, but what if there is another reason why the relationship between home and school is strained? Barriers that families face can interfere with their ability to be active participants in their children's education. Helping to break down these barriers is important to establishing a positive home-school relationship.
