In the US, parents’ participation is not required but encouraged and recommended for those who are able in various occasions such as Athletic/Cultural meetings, fundraiser events, PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) meetings and field trips. PTA meetings are a great way to be involved and able to get more hands-on insightful information about the schools and the teachers. The time schedule of these events and the level of contribution vary depending on the school and how young your children are.
