Research tells us that as children get older family engagement often slows down. This is a critical time for families to increase their engagement. Children who struggle in 9th grade have a significant chance of dropping out. A protective factor is family engagement. Staying involved through communicating with your child and their teachers can make a world of difference.

TIP 3: Know their friends.
