We know that children's academic success is linked to family support. Joy Preparatory Academy warmly encourages family involvement at many levels. Parents and guardians are always welcome in our school - whether just dropping in, volunteering or participating in an activity. Families participate in school activities, decision making and culture.

Family involvement opportunities include:

• Parent2Parent/PTO

• Evening festivals/programs

• Daily Recess Volunteers*

• LINK mentoring program

• Classroom volunteers

• Fundraising

• Student-led conferences

• Class trip chaperones

• Office volunteers

• New parent orientation

• Parent nights/open houses

​

Students with involved parents are more likely to:

• attend school regularly

• earn higher grades and test scores

• have better social skills and improved behavior

• be promoted, pass all their classes, and earn credits

• graduate and go on to post-secondary education
