The importance of the family in the democratic management of the school is the object of the present research. For that, the methodology used was field research, conducted through interviews with seven parents of students, containing six questions, whose answers were subjective. The results show that parents recognize the importance of school management, knowing the importance of their participation in the school environment, which occurs in meetings, activities other than school and when they are called to a conversation. In addition, we identified that these parents consider it important to have democratic management in the school and to have their voice active in the educational process. Thus, we conclude that the participation of the family in the democratic management of the school is a learning process for both the family and the school.
