Parents play a tremendous role in the educational achievement of their children. First Focus believes in the value of family involvement in education and works to promote home-school partnerships that provide parents with the knowledge and skills necessary to become strong advocates for their children’s education. By fostering parent engagement, schools gain a better sense of the needs of the student and their family, enabling them to better provide an equitable education for each child.
