this societal tapestry is woven against the backdrop of a long history of political and social
challenges, posing formidable obstacles for Filipino parents in the upbringing of their children
(Blair, 2014). Recognizing the importance of engaging parents in the education of their children,
such involvement is synonymous with schools taking proactive steps towards implementing
changes and fostering student development. As parental participation increases, it not only
benefits the students but also elevates the prospects of achieving substantial reforms in the

impact of parents' engagement in school activities on the social development of children. This is

At Panitan National High School, some parents are volunteering to enhance classroom
facilities. They're generously contributing televisions, fans, chairs, and basic school supplies,
as parents, school administrators, and teachers join forces to implement a range of impactful
programs. These include scholarships, feeding programs, classroom construction and renovation
projects, and health and nutrition programs. This holistic approach underscores the collective
outcomes, project quality, and the student learning experience. It seeks to ascertain whether

To answer foregoing questions, the researchers advance the null hypothesis stating that:
This study was anchored to the following theories which have significantly related to:
Nancy Epstein's framework categorizes parental involvement into six types: parenting,
community. This framework is helpful for understanding the diverse ways in which parents can
engage with schools. For school project implementation, the "collaborating with the community"
dimension is particularly relevant, as it highlights the partnership between parents and schools to
school project implementation and parental involvement by emphasizing the partnership between
parents, the school, and the wider community. When parents, school staff, and community
members work together, they can provide resources, support, and expertise to make school
projects more successful. This collaboration enriches the learning experience for students and
ensures that projects are implemented effectively, improving the overall quality of education. In
simpler terms, it shows that when everyone, including parents and the community, joins forces,
This theory considers the broader context in which individuals develop. It emphasizes the
role of parents, students, teachers, administrators, and the larger community in the success of
school projects, highlighting the need to examine these interactions at multiple levels. It provides
a comprehensive framework for understanding how various factors in the microsystem (family,
school) and beyond influence parental involvement and the success of school projects.

child's development is shaped by various systems and environments, notably the family, school,
and community. The microsystem, which encompasses immediate interactions, highlights the
crucial role of parents in education. When parents are actively engaged, it can positively impact
school project implementation by offering support and resources. The mesosystem emphasizes
that effective communication and collaboration between parents and teachers are vital for project
success. The exosystem's external influences, such as community resources, play a role in
shaping the quality and scope of school projects, as parents may leverage these resources. The
macrosystem, reflecting cultural and societal values, can affect both parental involvement and
project outcomes. Overall, Bronfenbrenner's theory underscores the intricate interplay between
parental involvement and school project success, calling attention to the broader context in which
