This presentation highlights how our school engages parents, families, and the community through a two-part approach: the Parent Leadership Academy and ongoing family workshops. The Parent Leadership Academy empowers parents to grow as advocates and leaders through classroom volunteering, weekly trainings, and community experiences. In addition, monthly workshops on nutrition, mental health, wellness, art, and family nights create meaningful opportunities for connection and learning. Together, these efforts strengthen partnerships, foster parent leadership, and build a supportive, engaged school community.
