National PTHV Week is a dedicated time to celebrate the power of Parent Teacher Home Visits (PTHV) in fostering strong relationships between schools and families. This annual event highlights the positive impact of home visits on student outcomes, including improved academic performance, attendance, and social-emotional development and wellbeing. The primary goal of PTHV Week is to raise awareness of the importance of home visits and encourage schools and communities to consider this effective practice as part of their systematic family engagement programs.
This year, National PTHV Week places a special emphasis on the critical connection between our model of home visits and curbing chronic absenteeism. Research has consistently shown that PTHV can significantly reduce chronic absence rates by building trust, fostering open communication, and providing tailored support to students and their families. By highlighting the role of home visits in addressing this pressing issue, we aim to inspire schools and districts to prioritize PTHV as a key strategy for improving student success.
