Authentic parent/guardian, family, and community engagement in schools is key to increasing student achievement and readiness for college, career, and life. CPS is entirely committed to engaging our families and school communities to make certain they are informed, inspired, and ready to partner with us to ensure students in all neighborhoods have access to well-resourced schools.
We facilitate parent and community stakeholder groups, leadership training workshops, and learning programs in the areas of academics, social skills, community resources, and capacity building. These engagement opportunities serve to:
- Increase student achievement
- Build partnerships with parents and community
- Effectively communicate district initiatives
- Empower parents to participate in decisions regarding the education of their children
- Encourage parents to take leadership roles within the school community
- Close the communication gap between families and the communities
- Establish a pipeline to resources/services
Explore the many ways you can get involved with your student's learning and school community.
