"I enjoyed reading this book. It took me longer than I expected, but with this new position I knew it would.(not enough hours in the day) There were lots of great ideas for parent involvement. At Ramage we have great parent involvement, but as Pam stated it is the same ones most of the time. These parents are a very important part of our school, but it would be great to get more parents involved. It seems like the ones we see on a regular basis are the ones we don't need to see to keep them informed I do like the idea of "Coffee with the Principal". I like the idea of calling the parent with positive news. It seems the only time we make an effort to call them is when there is a problem. I know the parent and the student would both appreciate this effort."

"I did enjoy learning about parent involvement and getting ideas to help me in my new endeavor. I have got so many good ideas about dealing with parents and getting parents into the school. We should also adopt the "Coffee with the Principal" idea. Forming a relationship with the principal would strengthen the relationship with the teachers and staff. I put this book on my shelf for further reference. I will certainly try to employ many of the ideas in the book next year when we have more funds to work with and more time to devote to the program instead of the planning process.
