Decades of research have shown that increased parental involvement results in higher student achievement in a wide range of areas including college readiness, higher self-esteem, higher test scores, and overall child well-being.  Parent involvement means the participation of parents in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including ensuring:

​

• Parents play an integral role in assisting their child's learning;

• Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's education at school; and

• Parents are full partners in their child's education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child.

 

At Thomson, we have a Parent Involvement Policy that sets forth the general expectations that we have of parents, students, and the school.  This policy and attached compact ensures that school and home are working together for the benefit of all children.

​

We hope all parents consider joining our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) to learn more about our school and find ways to support our community.
