What is a viable way for a parent with a 9-5 work schedule to engage with the school community?

Engaging with the school community can be challenging for parents with a traditional 9-5 work schedule, as many school activities tend to take place during school hours. Volunteering to judge the evening Science fair presents a unique opportunity for parents to participate without conflicting with their work commitments. Evening events allow parents to become actively involved in school activities while also supporting their children’s interests and accomplishments in a convenient time frame.

This involvement not only strengthens the relationship between parents and the school but also fosters a sense of community among families. It provides a platform for parents to connect with teachers, administrators, and other families, enhancing their understanding of the school culture and their child's educational environment.
