Just How Engaged Are You?

This was the question posed by the Denver Public Schools (DPS) to parents. In an effort to measure just how engaged parents perceived themselves to be, DPS created a short quiz for parents to take.

We invite our parents to take the quiz. Feel free to comment on your results in our comment section for this posting.

1. YES NO Do you make sure your student completes his/her homework?
2. YES NO Are you a member of the PTA/PTO in your school?
3. YES NO Do you make sure your student reads everyday?
4. YES NO Do you volunteer at your child’s school?
5. YES NO Are you on the CSC committee? (the decision making body for the school)
6. YES NO Do you regularly attend parent/teacher conferences?
7. YES NO Do you participate in parent trainings/workshops?
8. YES NO Do you attend family nights such as literacy and math?
9. YES NO Are you involved in the school improvement plan?
10. YES NO Do you communicate regularly with your child’s teacher?
11. YES NO Do you know the reading level of your child?
12. YES NO Do you call the attendance line when your child is ill?
