BUILD FAMILY ENGAGEMENT DURING TAKE YOUR FAMILY TO SCHOOL WEEK

 

BUILD FAMILY ENGAGEMENT DURING TAKE YOUR FAMILY TO SCHOOL WEEK

For over 120 years, National PTA has been encouraging families to get more involved in their child’s education. National PTA’s Take Your Family to School Week is designed to provide families with an opportunity to get more involved in their child’s education and strengthen their partnerships with teachers and administrators. The timing of the week honors the day PTA was founded, Feb. 17, 1897.

Research shows that family engagement supports student success. Students with involved parents are more likely to earn higher grades and pass their classes, attend school regularly, have better social skills and go on to post secondary education.

Help us celebrate PTA’s long legacy of family engagement during National PTA's Take Your Family to School Week—Feb. 14-21, 2021 by hosting a National PTA program with your school community! In response to our changing world, PTA Programs will be accessible through a variety of models: In Real-Time, At Your Own Pace and Tech-Free. These programs will offer engaging, educational and fun activities for all students and their families—with or without access to technology or grant funding.

You have the freedom to design whatever type of program works for you and your school community- whether at school, at home or online. Check out the resources at https://www.pta.org/home/events/PTA-Take-Your-Family-to-School-Week to better plan and promote your program.
