Take The Pledge To Become Involved With Your Child’s Education

November 18, 2010

Thursday was the 17th annual “National Parental Involvement Day” — a day that encourages parents to become involved in the education of their child(ren).

National Parental Involvement Day, held on the third Thursday of each November, was started by in 1994 Project Appleseed, an organization founded as a nonprofit resource and advocate for families engaged in education.

Parents are asked to take the following pledge from written by the Florida Parental Information and Resource Center (PIRC) of FND to encourage and support the home-school connection in order to emphasize the importance of the impact of parental involvement on student academic achievement.

I pledge to support my child’s education to the best of my ability. I will have high expectations for my child to succeed in school and in life. I will make my child’s education a priority, and model positive actions and attitudes. I will  partner with my child’s school to ensure I am informed and  involved in all aspects of my child’s education, and will be an active advocate for my child’s education. I understand that education is the key to success, and will do everything I can to nurture my child’s ability to learn.
