Research and surveys have proven that parent involvement directly influences student academic achievement.  Parents and teachers working together to promote academic success helps students and it improves the school overall.  The staff of NSJ wants to work together with parents to encourage high academic expectations and support positive social development. In addition, Nellie Stone Johnson School invites all parents to become active partners in their child’s education.
