Parent Involvement
A strong partnership between school and home is essential — parents are actively recruited as our partners for success.
As an Apache Trail parent, you are the necessary link between our educational program and our students. We invite your comments and suggestions, and we ensure information about school meetings, parent programs, and activities is sent to families in a form and language parents can understand. The overall goal of Apache Trail’s Title I program is to promote partnerships that increase parental involvement in the social, emotional, and academic growth of children — in ways that recognize and respect the diversity and differing needs of families.
