We aim to find the main factors that influence the family level of involvement regarding the children's education and in school life at the beginning of the Romanian primary education. The results of this investigation are useful for educators, counselors and school principals interested in applying the effective strategies in order to increase the family level of involvement regarding the children's education. We were interested in finding out if there are significant differences regarding the family involvement at school or at home, given the living environment of the participants. The geographic area where the participants live and their professional status were the main factors considered during the investigation. We have found that most of the participants are moderately involved in their children's education. The results obtained both in the rural and urban areas, help us to conclude that the common efforts of the school and family are necessary in order to consolidate the school-family partnership and increase the family participation in school activities.
