Parent Teacher Groups

Join a parent organization at your child's school, like the PTA, to show your child that you care about how he or she does in school. Get involved with what’s going on in the classroom and in the school. Small steps, like chaperoning a trip or working with the teacher on classroom needs, can be low commitment and have a big impact. There may be organization already established at your child’s school – if not, consider starting one.

Communities in Schools

Communities In Schools is the nation's largest dropout prevention organization. The mission of Communities In Schools is to champion the connection of needed community resources with schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school and prepare for life.
 
By bringing caring adults into the schools to address children’s unmet needs, CIS provides the link between educators and the community. The result: teachers are free to teach, and students – many in jeopardy of dropping out – have the opportunity to focus on learning.
