When it comes to children's success in school, no school
can do it alone... Research shows that the most accurate
predictor or student achievement in school is the extent
to which families are able to create a home environment
that encourages learning and become involved in their
children's education.... The Department of Education is
collaborating with the Parent Information Center...to
highlight the importance of parents and families in our schools.

Announcing the NH Community of Practice on Family Engagement in Education
During the Partnerships for Education (P4E) Conference in March, ideas were discussed for finding a way for educators, parents and others to share information about what works and what's needed for increasing family engagement in education. Responding to the input of the over 150 people in attendance, PIC has created an online social network called the NH Community of Practice on Family Engagement in Education. Learn more here.
Welcome to Parents Make The Difference!
The New Hampshire Department of Education is proud to partner with the Parent Information Center to provide this resource. This website contains information to promote parent involvement and strong school-family-community partnerships. We cannot emphasize enough that learning begins at the birth of each New Hampshire child. As a child’s first teacher, the parent or guardian is critical in those early learning years of development in helping to build literacy skills, vocabulary, and most importantly igniting and nurturing the child’s innate curiosity and love for learning.
