Parent Involvement
Parents are an important part of the learning community at the Academy for Business & Technology Elementary School. Parent and community involvement in the educational process are paramount to increasing and maintaining achievement levels for all students. According to the Michigan State Board of Education Family Involvement Policy, "Studies demonstrate that when parents are involved in their children’s education, the attitudes, behaviors and achievement of students are positively enhanced." ABTE welcomes and encourages family and community members to share their resources, talents and time in order to aid the school in meeting its goals.

This committee plans and organizes a variety of activities for student participation. Their main goal is to fundraise through monthly activities. In 2008-09, the money raised will be used for the purchase of playground equipment. |
