Family-School-Community Partnerships
The support and participation of families can greatly benefit schools working to create an environment of collaboration around student needs. The more opportunities that schools offer for families to contribute to children’s learning and to school activities, including REACh goals, the more families will feel encouraged and able to participate.

Schools using the REACh approach will want to involve families in planning, carrying out, and evaluating their efforts to meet student needs. Specifically, REACh schools can invite parents and other family members to participate:

As members of the Building Leadership Team
In the collaborative decision-making process
In designing targeted options for their child
In creating awareness of options and opportunities among other families and parent networks
In developing resource maps and in cultivating community resources outside of the school building.

Please comment on the family involvement we have presently in the Sparta Area School District.
Are there untapped resources we need to make connections with?
