Effective parent and community involvement in a school setting does not just happen-it requires effort on the part of the school staff to first establish good relationships with parents and the community and then requires additional effort to maintain and improve these relationships.

This is a necessary task for schools to attend to. Good parent and community relations make for a better school experience for everyone connected to the school.
