Family and Community Engagement Program: Strengthening School-Family-Community Partnerships for Academic Success
The Family and Community Engagement program serves families with children and teens who are part of FRPS. Let us help you access comprehensive services and support that help strengthen families and family-school partnerships.
About Us
The Role of the Family and Community Engagement Program
Our program provides various services and resources to support FRPS families with children and teens. We work to bridge the gap between home and school, creating a seamless support system for families' sustainable growth and student success. Outreach initiatives, workshops, live webinars, Adult English classes, and informational sessions are central to helping FRPS families navigate the educational system.
Work Testimonial
The Family and Community Engagement program at PACE-Center FRPS is more than a service; it is a commitment to building bridges, fostering empathy, and creating meaningful connections within our community. By strengthening family-school partnerships, we enhance the educational experience for our children and lay the foundation for a more inclusive and supportive future.
Let us continue this journey together, championing the spirit of collaboration and mutual support to enrich the lives of all involved.
