"Parental involvement is essential for student development and offers many benefits" ( Delgado, 2019). Elizabeth Davis Middle School encourages and expects teachers to communicate with parents about their student's progress. There are also planned events where parents are invited to the school to participate in activities so the parents can learn how to best help their children in school. This information is also being presented in Spanish since our Hispanic population is growing exponentially. ]]> 2021-08-03 22:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kwtye/un44its26ae8yoze/wish/1668206148 What community organizations helped your school meet its goals? kwtye https://padlet.com/kwtye/un44its26ae8yoze/wish/1668208917 As a leadership team we reached out to local businesses such as Sheetz, WaWa, Dunkin Donuts to donate incentives for students reaching their goals.
