As I look back on 5326 and reflect on what new things have been discovered, I have to admit that the course sent me in a different direction than I thought we were headed. My previous view of school community relations was from an advertising-only standpoint. I now realize that true school community relations are partnerships with the community that promote and build student achievement, not just methods of advertising existing achievements. I also now have a greater appreciation for the impact that parent involvement at the home level can have on student success. I am certain that there will be many more discoveries as I delve deeper into the realm of school community relations.
