There are different ways in which schools are nowadays involving parents with the child, one of the significant way to increase the involvement is by extending the parenting limit of a parent from home to school. This tends to give a quality and quantitative time to both the parent and child, and this way a child doesn't feel less ignored from a parent. Communication is a key factor that schools use to enhance the involvement of a parent, schools provide regular two-way communication opportunities by providing parents with a child's performance in studies and play and suggesting how a parent can work with the child in developing the negative part of child's performance.

Schools also use the major tools to increase the involvement of parent with the child, which is volunteering.
