The Parent Resource Center's Purpose is to support parents in their role as their child's first and most important teacher.
     

 Experience and research have proven that parent involvement in a child's education has a definite, positive influence on the child's educational achievement.  Students benefit in numerous areas, including higher standardized test scores, better grades, better attendance, and more positive attitudes and behavior.

 When the home and school work as partners, great strides can be made in the educational achievements of our children.  We at the Parent Resource Center of Neshoba County Schools are committed to supporting the parents of our students by providing materials, training, workshops, and other resources which will strengthen the role of the parent as a partner in the education of our children.

      The Parent Resource Center (PRC) has many Accelerated Reading books for check out. 

                     Due to the large number of students, the school libraries are unable to provide unlimited         

                  numbers of books for each student to read.   Come by the PRC for your child to check all the

                         Accelerated Reading books he/she needs.   After reading these books at home, students can then take the

test in the classroom.
