What is a parents role in a small school?
Because of their focus on community and manageable size, small schools are often able to foster close relationships with parents, and parents tend to be actively involved in small school communities. Some small schools ask parents to commit to specific levels of involvement, while others simply offer parents a variety of ways to participate so that they can choose which opportunities best fit their needs and desires for involvement. As well, small schools tend to focus on fostering close communication with parents. For example, in a small high school, the teachers often have a common meeting time. During this time, parents can meet with all of their child’s teachers at once to discuss their son or daughter’s progress.
