TAKE YOUR FAMILY TO SCHOOL WEEK

Take Your Family to School Week happens during the week of February 17 each year. This weekly observance is a unique opportunity to connect families with their children's school experiences. The observance is a PTA program designed to bridge the gap between home and school.

#TakeYourFamilyToSchoolWeek

The National Parent Teacher Association says this is the week to get involved in your children's school. Take Your Family to School Week coincides with PTA Founders Day (February 17). It commemorates the day in 1897 when the PTA began its work of encouraging parent involvement in children's education.

It's part of the PTA philosophy: “When it comes to children's education, parent involvement is key.”

Families are a necessary part of every child's education. The week encourages families to become involved in their child's education, their school, and the events they will be involved in throughout their educational career. There are many ways for parents to become an active part of the child's education and school.
