Family/Community Involvement
What
- Educating parents/community on what MTSS-B is and why we are using it
- Keeping parents/community informed about MTSS-B efforts within their child’s school
- Helping parents/community members apply MTSS-B in their environments
Why
- When families are involved, students exhibit more positive attitudes and behavior
- When students report feeling support from both home and school, they have more self confidence, feel school is more important, and they tend to do better in school
- Student at-risk behaviors such as alcohol use, violence, and other anti-social behaviors decrease as parent involvement increases
