Get involved!
If you are looking for a way to be involved with BES, we can help! Without the amazing support from our parents, family members, guardians, caretakers, community members, and teachers, our PTO wouldn't be able to accomplish all that we do in a year for our school. We offer a flexible way to provide support from membership to volunteering and donations.
The Importance of Parental Involvement in Education
Many parents mistakenly believe that their children’s education is entirely in the hands of teachers, but research solidly supports the case for parental involvement.
​
“No matter their income or background, students with involved parents are more likely to have higher grades and test scores, attend school regularly, have better social skills, show improved behavior and adapt well to school.” - National Coalition for Parent Involvement in Education
​
“The most accurate predictors of student achievement in school are not family income or social status, but the extent to which the family . . . becomes involved in the child’s education at school.”
– The National PTA
​
“When a child can see that their parent(s) is supporting them, they are more likely to take risks and learn something new instead of staying inside the box,” - Ria Simon from Himama
It’s undeniable that parents who are active supporters of their children’s learning are giving their kids the best opportunity for educational success.
