Research indicates that students with involved parents are more likely to attend school regularly, perform better in school, develop better social skills, improve mental health, and go on to post-secondary education. Family Engagement Nights are a great way to get parents involved and reinforce ties between home and school. Bringing families together provides a unique opportunity to create a more welcoming and inclusive school culture.
Packed in a reusable tub for portability and convenience, the Family Engagement Night Kit is an excellent value, meeting the needs of 60 or more children in grades K-3. These carefully curated kits are packed with books, reading journals and associated decorating supplies along with lots of physical activities for students, siblings and parents to enjoy.
