SIS strongly believes that engaged families tend to have more positive attitudes towards schools/teachers, gain a better understanding of their child’s skills and development, and experience an increase in their own skills and autonomy related to educational experiences.

Family engagement in schools contributes to positive student outcomes, including improved child and student achievement, decreased disciplinary issues, improved parent-teacher and teacher-student relationships, and improved school environment.

School-community partnerships have proven to be effective, leading to
Stronger social and emotional skills development in learners
Enhanced student engagement
Improved academic outcomes
