National Family Engagement Month
November is National Family Engagement Month! This month reminds us that families are children's first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers. Over 40 years of research have shown that the most effective way to increase student achievement is for families to be actively involved in their children's education. Family engagement is a shared responsibility between home, school, and the community. The importance of family engagement will be highlighted during November as we celebrate and strengthen family-school partnerships.
Here are some suggested activities and recourses in which families can participate together:
- Visit the link to the FCPS Family Academy
-
Visit your local library or go online to get a library card for your child.
- Ask your child what they discuss in morning meetings.
-
Register for workshops and webinars provided through our academy.
