Parent and Family Engagement

Research tells us that students with engaged parents and families, are more likely to:

  • Learn to read faster (Exhibit faster rates of literacy acquisition.)
  • Have higher grades and test scores.
  • Are promoted and take more challenging classes.
  • Adapt better to school and have better attendance.
  • Have better social skills and behavior.
  • Graduate.

In an effort to promote family engagement, 122nd Street ES in collaboration with staff and parents, has written the following School Parent Compact and Parent and Family Engagement Policy.  The Compact and Policy were updated for the 2020-2021 school year, and will be updated again for the current school year.  Parents will be informed of meetings which they can attend in order to participate in these updates.
