Free webseminar for parents with school aged kids

I got an interesting looking email today that I thought I'd share in case it interested any of you:

Well it is back to school time again and many of us are wondering how we can become more involved with our child's academic progress.

A recent nationwide survey stated that 96% of parents believed parent involvement was a key factor in student achievement and 95% think achievement would improve if there was better communication between school and home.

PowerSchool, a student information system that supports more than 10,000 schools and 4.2 million students, is hosting a webinar on parent involvement and the benefits of parent access to real-time information like grades and attendance information. The webinar will take place on Tuesday, September 16th at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET.

Parents now have a huge opportunity to get more involved, which can help mitigate problems, encourage better study habits, and improve collaboration between teachers and students - all key factors in student achievement.
