Abstract
The study delved on the strategies of La Paz Elementary School in community involvement in Umingan District I, Schools Division of Pangasinan II. Specifically, it determined and discussed the strategies of the school in community involvement, the strategies that contribute to the success of community involvement as perceived by the respondents; and the proposed program for the School Year 2021- 2022. As such, the findings showed that among the strategies in community involvement, parenting, communications, volunteering, learning at home, and decision-making were frequently employed by the school. Meanwhile, collaborating with the community was rarely employed by the school as strategy in community involvement. Results also revealed that the problems encountered by the school along learning at home were serious. The problems encountered by the school along parenting and volunteering were moderately serious while the problems encountered by the school along communicating, decision-making, and collaborating with the community were not serious. Further, strategies employed by the school in community involvement have significant relationships with their problems encountered along those strategies. Thus, the following activities are proposed to strengthen the strategies in community involvement in school. First, encourage parents to participate in school programs and activities especially the 4P’s beneficiaries; second) give certificate of participation to parents who attend the school activities and programs; third) orient parents on the importance of parental involvement in the education of their children; fifth) orient parents on the importance of time management; and sixth) encourage parents to appreciate their children schooling by giving simple rewards whether material or non-material things.
