Benefits of Parent Involvement
When parents get involved in their child's education, everyone benefits
There are many ways children benefit when parents participate in their education. Studies show students are more likely to: perform better on tests, get better grades, have good attendance, feel better about themselves and their school, take challenging classes, behave better at home and school, have good social skills, and continue their education after high school.
To get involved at Lena Dunn, contact Parent Liaison Kacey Frette at 812-254-8366.
