Sponsored by the PTA, or the Parent Teacher Association, Take Your Family to School Week shows how essential parents involvement in their children’s education is to school communities and family homes.
The PTA was founded in 1897 by initially as National Congress of Mothers as a strong advocate for public education. Successfully bringing mothers across the United States together for this cause, it grew in success substantially.
Eventually merging with the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers in 1970 to help all children gain the most from their education and become successful in life.
Introduced in 2006, Take Your Family to School Week offers a time where parents can connect to their schools, speak with their teachers and organize events where plans can be made, and children can be successful in school.
Coinciding with PTA’s Founder’s Day, this week-long holiday gives unique perspectives on their child’s school experiences and help build new partnerships between parents and teachers, helping to understand one another and gain valuable insight.
Schools all over plan events where parents can meet with teachers, such as talking about the school’s diversity, their education plans, their class subjects, and more.
