Parent Involvement

We have many opportunities for parents to get involved. You will gain hours to complete your required 30 Parent Volunteer Hours; however, the most important reason is that you will be making a positive impact on Pacoima Charter School. 

 

We strive to increase parental involvement since that is linked to many benefits for students including: 

• Higher Grades and Test Scores
• Better attendance and more homework done
• Increased commitment to school
• More positive behavior and attitudes
• Higher graduation rates
• Increased likelihood of higher education 

 

Parents and caregivers also benefit from parental involvement:

• Increased life skills and self-sufficiency
• Improved family communication
• Partner with the school and shape decisions to improve children’s school success
• Learn more about our resources
• Increase home-learning activities

 

The school benefits of parental involvement are:

• Improved teacher morale
• More support from families
• Higher student achievement
• Improved school climate
• Improved discipline
• Better reputation in the community
• More community attachment
