Parent Liaison

Parent liaisons help build a strong relationship between home, school, parents, teachers, students, and the school community to create a positive network of caring adults, ensure the needs of each student are met, and have the support and services needed for academic success. It can be challenging for parents to visit the school during workdays and to know what educational support and resources are available to them.We understand there may be linguistic and cultural barriers that prevent parents from being engaged, we will work together to overcome these barriers.
