The Parent School Partnership at Vibgyor High

Any parent who has a child in a Vibgyor High school, has some level of involvement with the school, whether it is talking with teachers, getting reports, attending school functions and events, PTA meets, etc.

Many parents who seek greater involvement are also urged to do so by the school authorities. The level of involvement of the parents is mostly very fluid. It solely depends on their desire, availability of time, confidence and the capacity to contribute. Vibgyor High Schools believes in parental involvement with schooling and works with the benefits this partnership brings for their students.

This involvement of the parents may include attending open house platforms; participating in school events; belonging to parent groups; being a member of a School Council. By working together in a positive, effective manner, both parties work towards their common goal of better accomplishmemts of their students.

Parent engagement in the education of their child at school and at home is considered for better learning outcome of the students. The greater the involvement the more qualitative the outcome is. When the parents and school engage better, children tend to have higher levels of achievement. For the parents, getting involved in the process of schooling and staying involved continuously with the activities of the school is critical to the success of their child's schooling.

Oftentimes, the way the parents feel about the school and the emotional connections they had with their schools influence the kind of attitude their children have towards school and learning. Positive schooling experiences are bound to increase parental involvement with their child's schooling. Besides, the biggest contributing factor to Parent's involvement, is their expectation of the future achievement of their child. If the parents expect high levels of achievement from their children, their involvement and commitment to the process of schooling automatically becomes stronger. This also has an extremely positive rub off on their child who tends to pick up these positive attitudes and become more proactively participatory in the learning process.
