Many First Nations students have low levels of achievement, which can be attributed to a lack of parental involvement. The negative perception of school left behind from residential schools is often cited as a reason for this lack of involvement. Teachers and school leaders need to develop strategies to lessen these negative perceptions and encourage First Nations parents to become actively involved in their children’s formal education. If the efforts of educators are successful, the low achievement rates of First Nations students will rise.  \nParental involvement at home and in education plays a major role in student achievement within the Western schooling context. Students with parents who have a high level of involvement typically have higher rates of student success than students with parents who are less involved. First Nations parents often have a lower level of involvement, which results in First Nations students having lower levels of achievement in school. The residual effects of residential schools, coupled with the ways that current schools make parents feel uncomfortable, contribute to the lack of First Nations parental involvement in formal schooling. Through the effort of educators, parental involvement in education can be increased for First Nations and non-First Nations families.  \nParental Involvement  \nAll parents are involved in children’s lives in different ways. Family A might consider parental involvement as having supper together every night while discussing each family member’s day, reading bedtime stories, and taking part in different activities such as swimming, ice skating, and going to the movie theater. Family B might consider parental involvement as making supper for the children, sending them to bed at their bedtime, dropping them off for swimming or skating lessons, and inviting other children over to play on the weekends. Family Bis making sure that the children are fed, getting adequate sleep, attending extracurricular activities, and having fun; however, the parents are not interacting with their children to build interpersonal bonds. The differences between the involvements of these two families may have resulted from a lack of understanding of what parental involvement is, or not knowing how to interact with their children.  \nParticipating in a child’s life is the main descriptor of parental involvement. Some parents, such as in Family B, are physically present but are not mentally and emotionally present. Family A shows that the parents are mentally and emotionally present by connecting with their children and taking part in activities that are important to the parents and children. Family B may not understand the true meaning of being involved; the key word missing is “participating.”  \nNot knowing how to engage and participate in activities with children may be one of the reasons that some parents are not as involved in school as others particularly parents who have fallen heir to the intergenerational legacy of institutionalized life in residential schools. Making an effort to attend extracurricular activities is important to children (“Eight Ways,” 2014) . One-onone time gives parents and children opportunities to connect and talk about their lives. Supporting children and cheering them on in endeavours that they pursue shows that they are believed in and encourages them to work hard and try new things. More specific suggestions of how to participate in activities with children include reading at home, limiting the amount of television that children watch, and setting routines (Friedel, 1999) . Schools have a role to play in  \nteaching parents these strategies to build healthy relationships with their children.
