Master Policy 115

Purpose:

To ensure Soldiers who are parents of school age children participate in scheduled parent/teacher conferences.

General:

1. Parental involvement in education is the single most significant factor in ensuring academic success for children. School systems face many challenges as they educate children and assist parents with molding youth into productive citizens. A collaborative working relationship between the military community, parents, and educators is imperative in asssisting military children's academic success.  

2. A major Army objective is to forge partnerships between military communities and local school systems. Encouraging active parental involvement in school activities and parent/teacher conferences creates a climate of support that enhances the quality of life for students and promotes Soldier readiness. Scheduled parent/teacher conferences are the primary times for discussion of academic progress, areas of concern or imporvement, and if necessary, developing a cooperative plan of action to assist students.

3. Mission permitting, commanders will afford Soldiers with school aged children duty time to attend scheduled parent/teacher conferences. Soldiers are expected to attend scheduled parent/teacher conferences when commanders grant duty time for attendance. Commanders should exercise leniency in granting time for Soldiers to volunteer in school settings.
