The mission of the Office of Family Engagement and Equity is rooted in the belief that family engagement is any way that an adult caregiver contributes to or supports a child’s learning. We build partnerships between families, school staff, and community providers to promote successful outcomes for our students.
Call or send an email to visit Room 118 at the District Office for assistance accessing school and district information and resources.
