Parent Involvement

Ivy Academia Charter School recognizes that, when schools and parents form strong partnerships, the student’s potential for educational success improves significantly. Parents learn the scope of their school’s instructional program and set high expectations for their children. As a result, schools can better focus on student growth and success. Ivy Academia supports a variety of parent-involvement programs that enable the school to involve parents in a broad range of roles.

Parents working on school projects, including fundraising, should coordinate these efforts with administration.  Please have any correspondence go through the School President as well.
