Parent Engagement policy approved by Newcastle Board of Education

Parental involvement in a child’s education is the key to student success, according to research by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

The Foundation reports, “Students whose parents stay involved in school have better attendance and behavior, get better grades, demonstrate better social skills, and adapt better to school.”

To ensure that parents are kept in the loop and stay active in their child’s education in Newcastle, a Parent Engagement policy was recently approved by the school board.
