As I watched all of our parents coming to school and spending time talking about their child's education, I was reminded once again how proud I am of the parent involvement at Prairieland. I am so glad that our parents find so many ways to be involved in the education of our students. We have many parents who come to the school and volunteer on a regular basis, we have many parents who assist with extra curricular activities after school and sometimes on the weekends, we have many parents who spend time reading with their child at night, we have many parents who study with their child, we have many parents who talk with their child on a regular basis about what they are learning about in school.... I could go on and on about all of the ways that our parents are involved in the educational process. I know that not everyone is able to to come to the school during the day to volunteer, so I am so happy to see our parents getting involved in many different ways. I came across a document put together by the Michigan Department of Education that summarizes the research done on parent involvement. It is very interesting, but I really like how it outlines the various types of parent involvement. Here is a link to the document:

Thank you for all that you do to make the Prairieland community so wonderful! It is a GREAT day to be a Cougar!
