Research has provided evidence identifying a positive link between parental involvement and student achievement.  It would appear that children benefit most, when schools and parents work together, to continuously support and encourage learning and development.  Parents, of course, are the primary educators of their children and the staff of Scoil Phádraig aims to assist you with our professional expertise.  Parental involvement in education is essential to enhance children’s academic and social success at school.  So, please get to know your child’s teachers, discuss your child’s work with them, and contact the school via telephone or email sooner rather than later if you have any concerns about your child at school.
