Parents

“I believe in the whole concept of what Lake Wales has done with its Charter Schools. The schools encourage children to think outside the box, and be their best.” – Sheila Watkins

Family involvement is a critical element in every student’s success in school. Research shows that parents and other family members have a huge positive impact when they are actively involved in schoolwork and school activities.

Parent and family involvement is much more than attending teacher conferences and PTO/PTA meetings – although those things are important too! Simply showing interest in your child’s school activities and class assignments will pay big dividends. You can volunteer to help tutor during the school day, chaperone field trips, serve on a School Advisory Council, or help with an evening Open House.
