The literature on effective schools identified eight to ten factors that are measures of school effectiveness. One of these factors relates the successful academic achievement of children in the effective school to the amount of parental involvement. The focus of this article is the role of the principal as catalyst linking the school and the home, making parental involvement a reality. A rationale for parental involvement is given and activities are outlined which involve parents in education both within the school and within the home.
