Nov. 20th, 2014: National Parental Involvement Day

Nov. 19th, 2014 

Get involved and make a difference!

According to the Arkansas Department of Education, research shows that a child's academic progress greatly improves when parents or guardians are involved in their child's education.

That's why ADE is encouraging parents, teachers, administrators and businesses to support National Parental Involvement Day.

In support of this day, Thursday, Nov. 20th, the Arkansas State Board of Education passed a resolution.  It encourages and supports positive communication between educators and families.
