Both of those concerns are legitimate, and both are closely related to alcohol and other drugs, whether used by the student or by their fellow students. So parents deserve to know what schools are doing to curb alcohol and other drug use, and college administrators must be prepared to answer tough questions about their alcohol and other drug prevention policies and programs.

Extractions: Department of Education The traditional role for parents in the schools is to come three or four times a year: once to open house or back-to-school night and two or three times a year to parent-teacher conferences. A middle-class "involved" parent might come more often, acting as a room parent, attending PTA meetings, or volunteering in the school. Successful parent involvement programs are those that extend these traditional roles for parents at school, and encourage all parents, not just white middle-class mothers, to become involved in many different aspects of school life. The secret to getting parents to participate in school events isn't convincing them to do something they don't want to do, it's providing them with something they do want to do. Each individual has a different "hot button" that will motivate him or her to participate. When discussing parent involvement, we tend to spend time looking for ways to motivate communities, rather than concentrating on the motivation of individuals. In fact, parent involvement is an individual, developmental process (Arizona Department of Education, 1989b). Consider the following ideas:
Extractions: Department of Education In the past decade there have been major changes in the philosophy and procedures of parent involvement programs (Powell, 1989). The traditional model of parent education was based, in part, on the assumption that parents were deficient in their abilities and dependent on professionals for guidance. It has been replaced by the family support model, which is based on four fundamental principles (Kagan, 1991): Every family functions as a home learning environment, regardless of its structure, economic level, ethnic or cultural background. Consequently, every family has the potential to support and improve the academic achievement of its children (Office of Educational Research and Improvement, 1993). All families have certain strengths, which can be tapped into by schools and other groups seeking to build effective home-school partnerships. Among these are the following:

Extractions: TUSD Home Progress Report Parents TUSD Implements K-5 Standards-based Progress Report Ten years ago, TUSD started piloting a standards-based report card. The report card was cutting edge and designed to support the standards-based movement of the district. In 1999, when PC computers were purchased for teachers, a committee was appointed to compile information as to the effectiveness of the standards-based progress report and determine any changes that were necessary to the format before producing a PC-compatible version. This committee made recommendations resulting in the current format of the progress report. The central office administration reviewed the progress report and recommended all schools move to a standards-based progress report to align with the state standards. Many questions are asked as to why TUSD has chosen this option. The following information may shed some light of this decision.

Extractions: May 1968 COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL SERVICE by Henry Dahlberg, Assistant Director for Community Services R OUGH ROCK is unique as it has the only true community school serving the American Indian. The school is different because it belongs to the people in a way that few other American schools do. Local autonomy is realized in fact, not word, as the community makes decisions regarding the direction of the curriculum, the focus of the community development program, or the salaries of staff members. The effect of this right to make meaningful decisions has been profound in this community. The people of Rough Rock have begun to speak out for the first time since the pervasive wave of governmental control and paternalism swept over the reservation just 100 years ago. The people are regaining a sense of dignity and self-respect which stirs under the epithets "wards" and "beneficiaries." The people grow restive under the bureaucracy of the reservation agencies which have grown "labyrinthine in structure and glacial in dispatch." The school, and particularly the Community Services division, offers an avenue for the constructive use of this demand for greater responsibility and involvement in decision-making. Although all administrative units of the school operate under the community school philosophy, Community Services is the principal vehicle for realizing those programs which affect the community at large. The Community Services staff is responsive to the wishes of the School Board and also suggests programs for the BoardÂ’s modification and approval. These programs lie in all areas of community and human resources development. Some are short-range, economic projects such as purchasing hay and coal for sale, at cost, to the local residents during the periods of isolation which follow severe storms, or, as happened this spring, selling lamb-starter milk when an unusual number of lambs were dying. Other programs are far more complex for they deal with the major problems of that isolated communitypoverty, unemployment and lack of education.
