Will it benefit my student if I attend ELAC meetings? The more you know about your student’s education and school, the stronger your support will be in the educational success of your child. During these meetings information is shared about the English Learner Program and the objectives of the program. Members will be able make important recommendations to school principals and to School Site Council. Parents will collaborate with the school, district, and community to improve the quality of students' education.

Is parent participation important? Research shows that parental involvement contributes to student academic success. Because families have a lot of influence on their children's performance, it is crucial that schools, families and the community work together to make this happen.
