Parents and Families in the Web

Concord High School continues to partner with parents to “empower students to be contributing members of a global society.” Research shows that when parents are involved students perform better in school, student attendance increases, graduation rates increase, and students and families enjoy closer bonds.

Ms. Mayhew, English teacher at CHS, shares her perspective on the value of family engagement.

We encourage you to share your own videos with Dr. Anderson. Questions or suggestions concerning parent and family engagement?

Contact Dr. Anderson at coreen.anderson@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.
