Parent Center
The Parent Center is designed to help engage, empower, and build the capacity of the parent/guardian by helping to foster a strong partnership with the school, therefore increasing the student’s overall achievement.
The parent instructional coordinator assists parents in learning to utilize resources already available to them, navigate the school culture, and help them find answers to their questions all with the purpose of linking them to their student’s learning. Additionally, the parent instructional coordinator will provide learning sessions and activities throughout the school year designed specifically with the parent in mind.
