PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT PLAN Research indicates that the leading predictor of student success is parental involvement. As such, the academy includes parents in every aspect of the education program. The school governance structure relies on significant parental input and cultivates a close working partnership between staff and parents. In cooperation with the Parent Teacher Committee (PTC), the school desires to promote parental participation in the education of their children, promote school safety, and develop effective parent involvement strategies. Since the Academy's mission is to promote life-long learning by nurturing academic excellence, positive character, and an appreciation of cultures, the Parent Teacher Committee supports our school mission and school improvement in many ways and serves as the vehicle for promoting and helping to organize many of the parent involvement and education activities.
