Our program focuses on parent involvement in their children’s education, and we want to increase their participation in the program.

During a parent meeting last fall we gathered ideas from a group of parents for what areas they wanted help in.

Our lessons are designed to facilitate the parent involvement that is so vital to student success and give parents tools and activities that can be used to bring about success.

We will be like coaches that will help parents implement new skills with their children to address any areas of interest.
