Parental Partnerships

Research shows that active parental involvement improves a child’s success in school. National Heritage Academies firmly believes in the benefits of a true parent-teacher-child partnership.

This contract commits them to take an active role in their child’s education—a role that includes getting them to school each day, on time, well-rested and ready to learn, with all homework and projects complete.We also ask parents to commit to volunteer 20 hours of their time each school year. This works out to less than two hours a month, and we find it’s doable for even the busiest of parents. Parents are given ample opportunities to get involved in ways big and small. Whether it’s volunteering for playground duty during recess, shelving books in the library, chaperoning a field trip or helping plan the school carnival, NHA welcomes parents at school.

Parents who come in to give of their time and energy will even find a place of their own. Each NHA school is equipped with a designated parent room where parents can work on projects and hold meetings.
