[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You’ve probably heard of Red Ribbon Week or Spirit Week, but have you heard about Family Engagement Week?

November 14-18th the Kentucky Collaborative for Families and Schools will be promoting and celebrating family-school partnerships. Because we know parent engagement in a child’s education leads to better student outcomes, our hope is that this week will encourage schools and families to reflect on how they can work together to build stronger partnerships.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]If you’d like to join, here are a few good places to start:

  • Visit the website for a full list of activities: Week at a Glance – Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence
  • Join the social media buzz on Facebook @kycipl,  Twitter @KYFamEngage, TikTok @userkyfamengage, and follow hashtag @KYFamEngage22.
  • Attend Webinars: FamilyEngagementWeekFlyer.pdf (prichardcommittee.org)
  • Volunteer on Thursday, November 17, National Family Engagement Day! Check with your school about eating lunch with your student, helping a classroom, or performing a task for the teacher. If you have not completed a volunteer training or completed necessary forms this is a great week to get that done so that you are ready for the holiday season and second semester.
