Our contribution intends to investigate, in the dimension of everyday life, one of the aspects through which - in our opinion - it is possible to analyze the dynamics of integration of immigrants in Italy. In fact, the increasing presence in recent decades of children of immigrant families within the Italian school has highlighted the need for constant and effective communication and interaction between the family and the school. The contribution focuses on the first results of a study, dedicated precisely to this aspect, carried out in a city in Southern Italy, in a lower secondary school that every year records a significant increase in pupils of foreign origin. Our work analyzes the perceptions of the teaching staff regarding the participation and involvement of immigrant families in the school context.
