Research shows that parental involvement in a child’s education, is one of the strongest indicators of academic success, impact on attitude, attendance, and achievement. It is clear that when the family takes an interest, children perform better in school and are more likely to pursue the goals of higher education – a necessity in today’s job market. Family involvement in education helps children to grow up to be responsible and productive members of the community. 

Although as parents we understand that there is a greater need for us to become more involved in our children’s lives, nonetheless we find that we are participating less and less. Often this is due to the pressures of our jobs. Sometimes, we find that we have little energy to take an active part in our children’s academic progress, or else we want to get more involved but simply don’t know how. 

Parents will always be the most important influence in their children’s lives. And at Casacanada, we believe that parental involvement is the most effective way we can improve education. For this reason, we are committed to creating and maintaining an information center for families, to assist them in performing a leading role in their child’s educational future. We will seek to provide information that meets the needs of parents in particular, and the extended family in general. Everyone has a part to play: grandparents, aunts and uncles; anyone who is interested in or responsible for the raising of a child will find something here. 

Please take advantage of this constantly growing resource; visit often and stay up-to-date on the latest information about how you can become more involved in these important issues. Your interest today can have a positive effect on your child’s future. You can make a difference!
