The interest that the parents show towards the evolution of their children and the assistance that they offer with the homework are among the predictors of academic success and of the adaptation to the school environment. The present study investigates the relationship between parental involvement towards the school (evaluated according to the frequency of interactions with the teacher and the teacher's perception on the quality of this interaction), the intrinsic motivation for learning and the educational performance. The participants in the research are students in the 3rd and 4th grade and their teachers. The results confirm the hypothesis that school performance is significantly associated to the level of parental involvement and of intrinsic motivation.
