Guam - Guam's northern district (Lagu) is looking to promote parent/family involvement in secondary schools. According to Simon Sanchez High School principal Beth Perez, her school along with neighboring F.B. Leon Guerrero Middle School and Upi Elementary School are set to hold a Back-To-School Night this Friday.

She told KUAM News, "It's very important because we see that as kids progress into the higher grade levels you see less and less parental involvement happening. One way that Simon Sanchez and F.B. wants to be proactive - we're going to go out there and be able to invite those parents within their neighborhoods to come out to an area they feel is safe."

The Back-To-School Night is set for 4-6pm at the GHURA 506 basketball court area. Perez says parents will have the chance to ask questions and meet the teachers and staff from the schools. Light refreshments and entertainment will also be provided.
