What is the Office of Family Engagement?

The Office of Family Engagement was created to provide a stronger home-school connection by finding ways for parents to become more active in their child’s education. The Office of Family Engagement now includes Parent University, as well as four Family Engagement Facilitators. We look forward to working with you! 
 

What is a Family Engagement Facilitator?

Family Engagement Facilitators will serve as liaisons between parents and schools to help establish stronger home-school relationships.

How can they help me?
 
Family Engagement Facilitators help families with school related issues that may surround behavior, IEPs, parent/teacher conferences where the teacher and parent don’t see eye to eye and refer to community agencies when needed. They also make sure parents are aware of District-wide meetings and help schools build and maintain PTO type groups, work with Title One initiatives, workshops and provide resources and information to schools and families.
 
They facilitate and support Parent University events, and also work with schools in making the school culture more welcoming. If you’re looking to become more of a partner in your child’s education, a Family Engagement Facilitator is a great place to start! 

Please follow us on Facebook for additional information and updates.
