Abstract
The purpose of this action research study was to determine how web-based
communication and contact at Towns County Middle School enhanced parental
involvement. This qualitative study included pre- and post-surveys completed by
participating teachers and parents, email communication statistics, and PowerSchool
parental access statistics. The results of the study were communicated to the
administration, faculty, and stakeholders of Towns County Middle School at a
Celebration. The results indicated that PowerSchool's parental access feature and email
communication are useful tools to bridge the communication gap between home and
school. The results were in accordance with findings observed in the literature review,
which indicated that web-based systems could increase involvement and collaboration
between home and school.
