Parental Involvement After the Implementation of Effective Communication Practices in a Low Income, High English Learner Populated School in California: A Case Study

City View Elementary, which is a pseudonym, is a Title 1 low income school with a high English Language Learner population. Students in high need areas, particularly Latinos and ELL students are underperforming in both Math and ELA. The students at City View lack the opportunity to succeed due to numerous factors, including a lack of parent involvement. Research on parental involvement identifies its benefits, factors that deter parents from being involved, and ways to improve parental involvement. This case study aimed to increase parental involvement through the implementation of a new communication system. Quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods were used to find a correlation between this new system and parental involvement.
