Parent Engagement Policy

Carl Hayden Community High School believes parents, legal guardians, and family involved in supervising a child’s education are critical partners in the educational process. Current research indicates that children achieve when families are involved in their child’s education in positive ways. This results in higher grades and test scores, better attendance at school, more positive attitudes and behavior, graduation at higher rates, and greater enrollment in higher education.

The Carl Hayden Community High School educational community believes that involving parents, legal guardians, and family members in a comprehensive role in educating their child is crucial. With this as our focus, parents will be encouraged to participate in a wide viewing and evaluation of the Title I program.
