The Parent Academy is an opportunity to connect with parents through shared learning experiences, skill-building exercises, and informational presentations. It will empower parents to participate fully in their child’s education by meeting the needs of diverse learners through a culturally responsive lens. Parent Academy will be a two-way conduit for understanding our parents’ needs and supporting their participation in their child’s life.
