Family and Community Engagement
Family and community engagement is a collaboration of resources to help families become full partners in their children's education. The goal is to inform, involve, support, and empower families by offering a variety of programs, resources, and services that not only add to their existing knowledge and skills, but also give them opportunities for continued growth and development.
