Introduction: This article approaches the relationship between family and school. The definition of family, its diverse compositions and its specific role is presented. The particularity of the school and the link between the family and this institution are emphasized. Ideas about this relationship are explored within the educational and social context. Objective: The main objective of this scientific article is to analyze the influence of the family at school and, consequently, on the children's learning. Methods: For this purpose, the bibliographic research methodology was used, in order to substantiate the theme addressed and build the present work. Conclusion: The school tries to guide parents on how to educate their children and, on the other hand, parents participate less and less in school activities as their children progress in the grades. Therefore, in view of the unstable relationship between family and school, school management should seek to facilitate this relationship as it seeks strategies that aim to help dialogue and participation.
