The study aimed to determine the contribution of parents’ school involvement in school activities and its correlation to pupil’s academic performance. The study also designed an intervention program based on the results obtained as a contribution to the Sardab Elementary School (SES) and to the locality as a whole. This aimed towards molding learners as a key to a better future. Respondents consisted of 23 male parents and 31 female parents of primary graders in SES. The study used the descriptive-correlational research design. Results showed that, parents had very low parental involvement in communicating, volunteering, and learning at home, while a low in parental involvement in parenting. Further, results revealed that parents’ involvement was not significantly associated to the academic performance of the pupils. This result suggested that the academic performance of pupils was not significantly associated to the parents’ involvement in terms of communicating, learning at home, parenting, and volunteering. This implied that the low academic performance of the learners was due to other factors and not by the parents involvement. With that, the researcher designed an intervention that would solve the problem holistically involving collaboration of principals, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders. The intervention program happened gradually but would surely provide a good results if the proper collaboration is made.
