Your child needs you to be involved in their education. Decades of research show that when parents are involved, students achieve:
-
Higher grades, test scores, and graduation rates
-
Better school attendance
-
Increased motivation, better self-esteem
-
Lower rates of suspension
-
Decreased use of drugs and alcohol
-
Fewer instances of violent behavior
A great way for you to get to know the teachers, support the staff, and network with other parents is through the Brantner Parent Teacher Organization. PTO provides many necessary and important resources for our children education. This effort is incomplete without your support.
