Resumo:It is well known that families’ participation at school has never reached the expectations desired by the educational community, but if we talk about migrant parents, we are confronted with a more complex issue than the previous one. For this reason, this article seeks to know participation and contribution degree of migrant families, as well as, teachers’ behaviour to promote parents’ knowledge and involvement at school life in early childhood and elementary schools of preferential attention in Región de Murcia. In this sense, a non-­‐experimental quantitative research of a descriptive and inferential nature was carried out, using two questionnaires, in which a total of 823 families and 150 teachers participated. The results show very low levels of parental participation at School Council and AMPA (School Association of Parents). However significant improvements have been detected in terms of a greater contribution from parents, such as supervising and controlling schoolwork, supporting them in organizing study time, and informing about their children’s regular attendance at school.
