The Illinois Parent Information Resource Center (Illinois PIRC) is here for you because parents matter.

Parents play an important role in their children’s academic success.  By being involved in their children’s school, as well as creating a home environment that supports learning, parents can help ensure that their children do well academically.  A child’s success also depends on the partnerships and support developed between parents and schools.  When schools and parents work together for improved student success everyone benefits.

Illinois PIRC offers a variety of programs, resources and information to help parents, teachers, and schools statewide increase parent involvement and improve student success.  These resources and services help ensure that parents are active partners in their children's learning and that Illinois children are receiving the best education possible.
