| Summary: | This study explores the transformation of school-family partnerships in the context of digitalization and the shifting role of parents in education. It examines the preferences of parents of primary school students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, regarding effective models of school-family collaboration in the digital era. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive survey approach, data were collected from 334 parents across five districts/cities in Yogyakarta. A structured questionnaire validated by experts and based on Epstein’s framework and parental involvement theory was used to capture five key domains of parental preferences: participation, communication, digital engagement, parenting needs, and relationship quality. The findings reveal that parents favor flexible schedules, clear two-way communication, respectful teacher-parent interactions, and the use of digital tools to enhance accessibility and collaboration. Despite a strong willingness to participate, challenges such as work commitments and inflexible school schedules remain. This study contributes to the field by proposing a responsive, participatory blended model tailored to the millennial parent generation. The model leverages existing ICT infrastructure and parental digital literacy to improve inclusivity and address diverse barriers to school-family collaboration. The findings hold implications for policymakers and school leaders in redesigning family engagement programs aligned with everyday realities and the evolving digital landscape.
