MTHS Parent Engagement Policy

Mount Toro’s Parent Engagement Policy seeks to provide the tools to support the parental role in student learning, both at home and at school. The school strives to design programs which build on the strengths of its population, seek opportunities to invite parent and community participation in school activities, and create partnerships between those involved in student success. These partnerships create relationships that contribute to student achievement and that respond to the unique needs of continuation high school students and their families.

Parents as advocates, advisors, and decision makers

Parents are recruited to participate in school governance and advocacy committees such as the School Site Council, Title I Advisory Committee, English Learners Advisory Committee, and CalSAFE Teen Parent Advisory Committee.
