I think engaging parents starts with creating a sense of partnership and belonging. From my perspective, hosting inclusive events that accommodate different schedules helps all parents feel welcome. Consistent communication through newsletters or social media keeps them informed and connected. Recognizing their contributions, no matter how big or small, shows genuine appreciation and builds stronger relationships. When parents feel valued, their involvement becomes a powerful force for student success.

Para envolver os pais na comunidade escolar, é essencial criar canais de comunica??o abertos e acolhedores, onde possam se sentir ouvidos e participar ativamente. Promover eventos interativos, como reuni?es dinamicas, oficinas e momentos de troca de experiências, fortalece o vínculo com a escola. Além disso, reconhecer e valorizar suas contribui??es, seja por meio de feedbacks positivos, homenagens ou participa??o em decis?es escolares, aumenta o engajamento. A tecnologia também pode ser uma aliada, oferecendo plataformas para acompanhamento da aprendizagem e intera??o contínua. Quando os pais percebem que sua presen?a faz diferen?a, tornam-se parceiros ativos na educa??o dos filhos.

In my experience parents respond well to being part of. Keeping them updated about news and plans, asking them about ways to improve or topics and struggles they would like help on. Polls and interviews are of great help when to comes to building community.

In my experience, I have received positive feedback by providing concise, clear monthly updates via email or text—limited to two or three sentences—focusing on essential events, educational programs, or specific needs. This approach respects the diverse backgrounds of families, increasing the likelihood that parents will read and respond to a brief, targeted prompt. It effectively minimizes time demands while fostering stronger connections with the school community.
