  • Parent University Mission 

    Parent University aims to connect parents/caregivers with their child's school, the school system, and community organizations through opportunities for learning.  Families who play an active role in their child's education positively contribute to that child's academic and social success.  It is an opportunity for parents to engage in interesting and practical courses to increase their confidence and skills needed to support their child's success and effectively navigate the public school system.
