How to Rally Parents for Fundraising

A huge part of operating a school effectively relies on fundraising. Schools rely on parents to help enormously with this. As a general rule, however, parents are unfortunately not particularly enamored with this aspect of being part of a school community.

School administration includes the collection of fees from every student, and some schools build voluntary donations into their fee structure. However much more funding is usually required than that afforded by these and by government funding, and this is where parents need to volunteer to assist in various forms of fundraising activity.

Tips to Minimize Truancy

Truancy, or skipping school, is a significant problem in schools across Texas and throughout the United States. It has also been statistically identified as a warning sign that students may be heading for more troublesome activities and potentially even delinquency. It’s really important for teachers, parents, and administrators to identify these students and put in place strategies to help minimize truancy levels. Having a premium student information system in place in the school is just the first step.
