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
