Parent Academy

The Parent Academy is our district’s free, year-round parent engagement initiative, helping parents become more involved in their children’s education. We promote the academic growth of every student, and the goal of The Parent Academy complements that approach. 

We provide educational excellence for students by informing parents of their important roles in fostering growth and uniting our school with the community. Giving parents a fuller sense of their rights, responsibilities, and the educational opportunities available is an integral part of that.

Parent Academy will create new systems for building parent knowledge, skills, and networks for leading their children’s education and advocating for strong schools, for their own children and for all children.
