What is a Parent & Family Center?
Centers are meant to promote the important partnerships among all stakeholders
Centers provide a safe space for parents to gain understanding of district policy and initiatives, ways to access community resources and support their child’s learning at home.
The center also serves as an information hub, connecting parents and families to their communities.

Workshops and trainings should be primarily instructional
The learning at the center is only useful if it makes it back home
Participants should always have something instructional to take back home with them
Learning should be challenging but also fun
Participants should evaluate workshops/trainings and presenter should reflect on evaluation results
