Student Life
Parent Involvement
“For decades, research from around the world has shown that parents’ involvement in and engagement with their child’s education—including through parent-teacher conferences, parent-teacher organizations, school events, and at-home discussions about school—can lead to higher student achievement and better social-emotional outcomes.”
Peace Terrace Village
“It takes a village to raise a child” is a proverb that means that an entire community of people must provide for and interact positively with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment.
At Peace Terrace every parent is a part of our village and contributes to our community. Parents are added to various teams when they enter the school and contribute their time and expertise to that team.
