The partnerships and collaboration between schools and families are crucial for student success. Our webinar series was developed with the goal of empowering parents and caregivers with information, strategies and connection in order to ease some of the stresses of raising a child in today's world.
The Parents as Partners Webinar Series offers 10 live webinars with recordings available until the end of June! We have brought back some of the most popular topics from previous years, but there are also several new topics and additional presenters, all of whom bring a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to share with families. Many districts have used the series to meet the ESSA requirement to connect with families, and our goal is to make this a seamless process. We have done all of the planning and legwork... all you need to do is let us know you'd like to participate, and we will do the rest!
