Parent Center

Parent and family centers are critical and essential resources in schools to engage parents as partners in their children's education.

An effective parent and family center serves as a parent classroom - a place where parents can learn about curriculum, community resources, communicating with teachers and school personnel, and ways to support their children's learning at home.

Parents can also learn about the importance of the social and emotional well-being of their children as well as strategies and resources to support their development. The knowledge and skills that parents acquire at the parent and family center prepare them to be successful in their roles as their children's first and life-ling teachers and advocates.

ALAUSD School Goals for Parent Engagement A welcoming environment for families where you are invited to participate as equal partners in the education of your children. Provide parents opportunities to acquire necessary information, knowledge, and skills to support their children's education at home and at school. Engage parents in the school's volunteer program so they can participate in supporting school-wide, classroom, and parent involvement activities. Respond to parent concerns and/or complaints to ensure a child's educational needs are met. Comply with all LAUSD, State, and Federal requirements regarding parent involvement.
