Why join the PTO?

Research shows that when parents are involved in their children's education, the children are more likely to:

• Earn better grades.
• Score higher on tests.
• Pass their classes.
• Attend school regularly.
• Have better social skills.
• Show improved behavior.
• Be more positive in their attitude toward school.
• Complete homework assignments.
• Graduate and continue their education.

Dads Matter

In both two-parent and father-only households where dads are highly involved in their schools, children are more likely to:

• Succeed academically.
• Participate in extracurricular activities.
• Enjoy school.

They are less likely to:

• Have to repeat a grade.
• Be suspended or expelled.

Parents Benefit, Too

When parents become involved in their children's education, the parents are more likely to:

• Be more confident at school.
• Be more confident in themselves as parents and their ability to help their children learn.
• Be held in higher esteem by teachers and have teachers expect more from their children.
• Enroll in continuing education to advance their own schooling.

By working together, we all benefit. Join us!
