Goal #3:
Focus on systems of support that strengthen family engagement and empower parents as partners.

- Provide communication in families’ home languages.
- Expand use of digital platforms (apps, portals, texts) for two-way communication.
- Conduct regular feedback surveys to measure family satisfaction and involvement.
Objective 2: Expand Parent Education & Leadership Opportunities
Implement and deliver parent education programs and leadership development opportunities so that families participate in academic workshops, leadership councils, or volunteer opportunities.
- Host workshops on supporting literacy, math, and social-emotional learning at home.
- Train and mentor parents to serve on school site councils, advisory committees, and district-level decision-making groups.
- Create “Parent Ambassador” or “Parent Mentor” programs to encourage parent-to-peer engagement.
Objective 3: Strengthen Community Partnerships to Support Families
Establish partnerships with local organizations to provide wraparound services (health, mental health, technology, and enrichment) so that families feel fully supported in meeting their children’s needs.
- Partner with community agencies to host family resource fairs.
- Expand access to counseling, nutrition, technology, and after-school programs.
- Monitor parent engagement data (attendance at events, workshop participation, and survey results) to evaluate progress.
