Nine years into having children from the Allied
Drive community at Crestwood, this physical education
teacher wonders what can be done to get the families
more connected to the school. After looking at different
school events at the start of the 2004-05 school
year to confirm her observations, the researcher
began talking with others to get their insights.
Data included attendance, staff questionnaires,
discussions with staff members, and interviews with
an Allied Drive parent and the principal. Results
of the study will be used to implement an orientation
for parents in the Allied Drive community as well
as a buddy program to give struggling students another
person to feel comfortable with at school.
