The Parent University is a district wide initiative with a goal of increasing education attainment among students of color through effective family engagement. During Take Your Family to School Week the Parent University will feature five workshops that support school-community partnerships and parent empowerment in the district. The courses and events we plan to include are: Effective Communication with Your Child, Effective Communication with Schools, Latino Parent Night, How to Prepare for College Applications, and Helping Your ADHD Student. These interactive and practical courses will be located in our school buildings, helping parents to experience our schools as comfortable and inviting spaces. They are being taught by community professionals such as school social workers and counselors, psychologists, and academic support specialists. All events will have refreshments, childcare, professional Spanish language interpretation, and free t-shirts.
