Family Involvement Policy

 

Based on nationwide studies, detailed in What Kids Need to Succeed, students who have developmental assets in their life are more likely to succeed.  One of the most important assets is Family Involvement in Schooling. 

 

In order to help families become more involved in their child’s education, The da Vinci Institute is adopting a policy that requires families to commit to at least 40 hours of school participation and/or service per year.  Single parent families may commit to at least 20 hours of school participation per year.  Participation by any member of the student’s immediate or extended family will be counted toward the required hours.  Options for participation and service are outlined below.
