The level of parents’ involvement in students’ learning was determined according to the areas; Parenting, Communicating, Decision- making and Collaborating with the community.

Meanwhile, the level of parental involvement in the students learning in the area of parenting, communicating, decision-making, and collaborating with the community was the same. Based on the findings, this study calls for teachers to create programs that will generate parent-teacher partnership, recognition of parents and child’s achievement in school aside from giving report cards. Also, School heads and teachers should build a comfortable learning environment to sustain the learners’ interest and open communication with the parents, and conduct regular consultations and orientation of the school vision and mission for the welfare of their children. Further, parents should be informed through letters or an info board with a schedule within the allotted time. And lastly, teachers and school heads create a grouping for parents to collaborate on school projects with the goal of their children’s welfare in school.
