  • Family Engagement

    At the heart of every child's success is a family that's involved, connected, and engaged. November is Family Engagement Month, a time to celebrate the important role families play in their children's learning and development - at home, in school, and in the community.


    When families read together, explore together, and learn together, children thrive! Throughout November (and all year long!), we encourage families to take small steps that make a big difference, such as sharing a story at bedtime, visiting the library, or talking with your child about their day.


    Let's work together to support strong family partnerships and help every child reach their full potential!
