Home visits between school staff and families are a proven family engagement strategy that improves student achievement, attendance, and behavior. To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Parent Teacher Home Visits organization, we are launching the inaugural National Parent Teacher Home Visits Week, September 19-24, 2022.
Our goals are to:
- Celebrate educators and families who prioritize building relationships of trust
- Generate awareness and support for PTHV locally and nationally
- Conduct as many home visits as possible during the week
- Evaluate and share the impact of PTHV week locally and nationally
Through this special observance, we are inviting schools to celebrate 25 years of authentic, trust-building visits. We have a number of planned mini-grants, giveaways, and awards to support and recognize the efforts of schools and individual educators.
