Family Engagement

(Families & Caregivers)

Strong partnerships between families and education professionals have been linked to increases in literacy and educational achievement! Our Family Engagement Team empowers students and their families by strengthening school-family-community partnerships, connecting families to their students’ education and development, and to essential resources.

How can the family engagement team empower my family?

 

Our team can connect you with your school to be up to date with events, assignments, grades, and educational opportunities beneficial for your student’s academic growth and your involvement. Together we can navigate PowerSchool, Schoology, Free and Reduced Lunch applications, and Youth Power programs and camps.


 

We believe engaged families contribute significantly to a student’s success. We encourage and facilitate family involvement in your student’s education and development through relationship building and two-way communication. We honor that partnership looks different for each family. Our goal is to build trust and communication between families and schools, including support preventing, intervening, and after discipline or youth violence incidents.


 

Become a part of the family leadership movement! Be a mentor at home or in schools. Become involved by joining Parent Mentors, volunteering in school events, or engaging in meaningful conversations with the Family Advisory Committee. Together, let’s build stronger, more supportive school communities for our students’ success at home, school, and in the community.


 

Facing challenges? We’re here to listen. Our team works as a family partner in finding options, tools, and strategies that help your family move forward.


 

Accessing resources can be overwhelming. Our team is equipped to guide you through available resources both within and outside the school system, including academic services and community support programs.
