The aim of this research was to explore the collaboration of primary schools and parents. For the assessment of collaboration, the known and verified typology of Joyce L. Epstein (1986) was used, which categorizes the activities of family, school and community involvement in six types. In accordance with this, 158 teachers of elementary schools in Zagreb, filled out the Questionnaires for teachers and parents in elementary and middle grades (Epstein & Salinas, 1993) which measured the Teacher's attitudes about family and community involvment, Importance to teacher of Type 2 activities, Importance to teacher of Type 4 activities – learning at home and Teacher report of parental responsibilities. The teachers also filled in the IPIP-15 (Milas, 2007), Satisfaction with life scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffin, 1985) and the Emotional skills and competence questionnaire (ESCQ - 15, Takšić, 2001). The analysis showed a positive correlation between teachers’ attitudes and assessments of collaboration. Also, Importance to teacher of Type 2 activities and Importance to teacher of type 4 activities – learning at home can be predicted based on individual characteristics and years of work experience as a teacher. Furthermore, teachers in the classroom evaluated communication with the family and involvement in home learning activities more important than subject teachers. This research, despite some limitations, offers valuable guidance for further research and practical work.
