Family Engagement
Building Partnerships with Families & Communities Nov. 2021
Families and schools working together, because our students are worth it!
It takes effort and purposeful planning to build effective and meaningful family engagement with the families of our students and within the community. Often, it means new ways of thinking, responding, approaching, and including families, across the daily spectrum of activities, decisions, and information sharing that our school promotes. It can be doing something in a different way, or several methods, or changing a bias, or thinking outside the box. But, it is always worth it! Engaging families in our school system promotes real benefits for students in academics, behavior, transition, and their future. It also can help staff and faculty enjoy better results, gain a sense of partnership, and enjoy their jobs more, while building a sense of community - inside and outside the walls of the school.
