This stage is characterized by the traditional kinds of involvement such as Fundraising, Volunteering and Attending Social Events. From time to time, a major issue may need to be addressed, but these are rare. These are all valuable kinds of involvement. Student learning is enhanced through the efforts of volunteers, and children benefit simply by seeing one or both of their parents volunteering their time within the school. Even parents who attend only the occasional concert or science fair are, by going into the school, reinforcing to their children the value they place on the school and the education it provides. Fundraising benefits student learning when the efforts are focused on supporting the school's goals for continuous improvement. Challenges In this stage, there is a limited role for advice or for involvement in the development of the school's plan for continuous improvement. In some cases, this may be the result of parents simply being more comfortable being involved in the traditional types of involvement. In other cases, it may simply be routine to take care of these things and leave the issues to the professional educators.
