Why Family Engagement in Schools Matters
When families and schools work together, amazing things happen!
Family involvement isn’t just helpful—it's a key part of student success.
*Higher achievement
*Stronger relationships between home and school
*More motivation and confidence for students
*Better behavior and social skills
*A stronger sense of community
When parents, guardians, and educators team up, students thrive. Let’s continue building those connections that help every child shine!
Thank you to all our Elementary School Family Engagement Coordinators for their dedicaiton to all our families!

McMinn PREP at Niota was honored to have them visit our after-school group. Mr. Weir shared about his time in the service and his work today, while Ms. Belcher taught students about the American flag and the proper ways to handle and retire/dispose of it.
Each child received a flag, and our students created special cards and banners to give in honor of Veterans Day.
