Reinforce the connection between school and life

One of the best ways to be involved in your child's education is to show how school subjects relate to life outside the classroom. You can do this by pointing to specific things as they occur ("I am using fractions to follow this recipe") and by talking about the things your education has enabled you to do. Explain things you are learning now, and emphasize that learning is valuable and continues throughout life.
