Avalon Independent School District

     Throughout the school year, there is a myriad of activities for students and parents to enjoy, volunteer, and share.  Once the holidays have gone, it seems as though everything is in high gear and multiplies.  I encourage all of you to get involved in activities, both in and out of the classroom!

 

     The common thread that weaves through all good schools is parental involvement.  Most research supports the need and benefits of parental involvement in schools. We desire for parents to become involved in their child’s education. The linking between home and school becomes evident to the child when participation at school occurs. Children are quite adept  at seeing what is valued by adults and consequently  will mirror those same values. Thus, the more we model the importance of learning, the greater the likelihood that children mirror that parent/school relationship.

 

     Additionally, research shows that the more intense the participation of parents in their child’s education, the greater the beneficial effect.  Student achievement is the beneficiary of parents involved in fundraisers, boosters, or volunteers. To that end, we encourage all of our parents to spend some time with us – you are always welcome. Together, we can accomplish much more than could otherwise be possible.

     It continues to be a wonderful journey…See you at school or at any of our great activities!
