Family engagement is the process used to build genuine relationships with families. Relationships with families support overall family well-being and children's healthy development.  Family engagement is based on the idea that parents and others who care for their children work together to prepare children for success.

When a school actively engages its families, the benefits far outweigh the effort.

Parenting Strategies

Positive Childhood Experiences

Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) are the kinds of activities and experiences that enrich a child’s life. What can you do as a parent?

In the home children….

• Talk with family members about their feelings

• Feel safe and protected by an adult in their home

• Feel that their families stood by them during difficult times

In the community children….

• Feel supported by friends

• Have a least two non-parent adults who take a genuine interest in them

• Feel a sense of belonging in school

• Enjoy participating in community traditions
