The Utah State Board of Education regularly conducts studies to understand the importance of family engagement in a student’s academic efforts. Regular check-ins, positive teacher-parent relations, and parental help on learning projects were consistently ranked most important when measuring how parents can best support students for long-term academic and career success.
