Family Engagement in the Parma City Schools is a goal that goes much farther than just encouraging parents to get more involved.  It is often overlooked how critical a role parents play in ensuring a child’s academic success.  Therefore the Parma City School District has developed an ongoing initiative, guided by the district’s Office of Family and Community Engagement, to strategize and oversee the organization of programs that facilitate more productive partnerships among parents, teachers, principals, and the community.

 

Since September, an advisory board (Council of Family Engagement) began monthly meetings to discuss the various parent involvement efforts that are currently in place, as well as offer recommendations to support and improve family engagement.

 

The Council is currently looking for members. Meetings are held once a month during the school year.  If you have members in your church that would be interested in volunteering in this capacity, please have them complete an application online at www.parmacityschools.org/engage.
