Morgantown Learning Academy was founded on the concept of parents, teachers, and students all working together to create a learning environment that fosters a spirit of community. Parents are also responsible for donating a set number of volunteer hours and participating in fundraising events. There are many and various ways in which we encourage parents to become involved in the school - participating in Read Aloud, becoming a classroom helper, chaperoning field trips, cutting out bulletin board materials at home, chairing a fundraiser, and planting flowers at a Parent Work Day - to name a few. We also believe that communicating with parents is very important. Parent-teacher conferences, email, and communication folders are just a few of the many ways that we inform parents about the school and their child. Involving parents is important to MLA for many reasons. It builds a sense of responsibility and community, helps parents become more aware of what goes on during the school day, and shows our students that our adults value education and all that it entails.
