The Parent Center serves as a parent classroom -- a place where parents can learn about curriculum, community resources, communicating with teachers and school personnel, and ways to support children's learning at home.  Parents learn about the importance of the social and emotional well-being of children as well as strategies and resources to support their development.  The knowledge and skills that parents acquire at the Parent Center prepare them to be successful in their roles as their children's first and life-long teachers and advocates.
 
Parent Involvement = Student Success!
