Research Links
There is an abundance of research supporting the need for parental involvement in a child's life. Middle school is not the time to stop being an involved parent; it is a time that your child needs you the most. Please take the time to see why PIE is a great addition to our school and to you and your child's life.

The idea of PIE has stemmed from researching: The Accelerated School Theory

Accelerated Schools	New Wave of Evidence (Best resource listed)	Yoga in the School Article
Success for All	Original Research Paper in which PIE was created	Accelerated Schools (2)
Philosophy	Parent Engagement	Illinois Standards
Parental Involvement in School Quick Facts (handed out at Open House)
Parents of Eighth Graders	Parental Involvement in and out of school	Parent's Reactions to Teachers
