Being involved in PTO matters. It's one of those "should-do's" that you really should do.
Why? Studies show:Students who have parents involved in PTO:
- earn better grades
- score higher on tests
- pass their classes
- attend school regularly
- have better social skills
- show improved behavior
- be more positive in their attitude toward school
- complete homework assignments
- graduate and continue their education
And when dads are involved:
- succeed academically
- participate in extracurricular activities
- enjoy school
They are less likely to:
- have to repeat a grade
- be suspended or expelled
Schools with involved parents enjoy: - better morale among teachers
- higher ratings of teachers by parents
- more support from families
- a better reputation in the community
When parents become involved in their children's education, the parents are more likely to:
- be more confident at school
- be more confident in themselves as parents and their ability to help their children learn
- be held in higher esteem by teachers and have teachers expect more from their children
- enroll in continuing education to advance their own schooling
